Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Inflammation is defined as the local response of living mammalian tissues to injury due to any agent. It is a body defence reaction in order to eliminate or limit the spread of injurious agent, followed by removal of the necroses cells and tissues. Objective of present study is to compare the ant-inflammatory activities of methanolic extracts of Sesbania grandiflora leaves and Acacia nilotica bark. We hypothesized that methanolic extracts of Sesbania grandiflora leaves and Acacia nilotica bark may benefit in diseases of cell injury and pain. Sesbania grandiflora leaves and Acacia nilotica bark extract, exhibited anti-inflammatory activity when subjected to the tests like Formaline induced paw edema.
