EVALUATION OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF CANTHIUM PARVIFLORUM BY IN-VITRO METHOD
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The present study investigates the anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extract of Canthium Parviflorum, is a valuable medicinal shrubby and woody plant which has been valued for centuries in ayurvedic medicine. Phyto-chemical analysis of Canthium parviflorum plant extracts revealed the presence of various bio-chemical compounds such as flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids, saponins and terpinoids. Since terpenoids and flavonoids have remarkable anti-inflammatory activity, our present work aims at evaluating the in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity of Canthium parviflorum by protein denaturation method. Denaturation of proteins is a well documented cause of inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis. Several anti-inflammatory drugs have shown dose dependent ability to inhibit thermally induced protein denaturation. Ability of CPE extract to bring down thermal denaturation of protein is possibly a contributing factor for its anti-inflammatory activity. The data of our studies suggests that CPE extract showed significant anti-inflammatory activity. Therefore our studies support the isolation and use of active constituents of Canthium parviflorum in treating inflammation.
