Abstract
The present study is aimed to evaluate the in-vitro anti-arthritic activity of ethanolic extract of Callicarpa macrophylla flower using inhibition of protein denaturation model and human red blood cell Membrane stabilization model. Diclofenac sodium was used as a standard drug. Results revealed that the ethanolic extract of Callicarpa macrophylla at different concentrations possessed significant anti-arthritic activity as compared to standard drug used as Diclofenac sodium.
