The extracts were administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 50 mg/kg and 100mg/kg while Diclofenac sodium 10mg/kg and pentazocine 5mg/ served as standard in Acetate induced abdominal writhing and hot plate, method respectively.. The results are analysed by one way ANOVA followed by Dunnet’s test The Ethanolic extract of 100mg /kg having significant analgesic activity in Acetic acid induced abdominal writhing response and percentage of inhibition (PI) (p<0.01 )when compared to control.. The Ethanolic extract of 50mg/kg and 100mg/kg exhibited significant analgesic activity in the hot plate method (p<0.001) by increasing the pain reaction time(PAT) of the rats to sec 7.25±0.38 at 45 min after treatment in comparison to control (4.08±13)
