Antidiarrhoeal, Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of Symplocos racemesa roxb. Bark
Journal Title: Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 6
Abstract
The antidiarrheal activity of the drug Symplocos racemosa was performed in-vivo on isolated rabbit intestine. The effects of crude extract and fractions were observed at different doses. The overall response of the crude extract on isolated tissue of rabbit intestine was decreased in the tone of smooth muscle. Further studies were carried out on different fractions (ethylacetate, chloroform, n-butanol and aqueous) of crude extract of S. racemosa. The standard drugs were also used for further screening of the fractions of S. racemosa. Hot plate, writhing test, formalin test and carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice and rats were performed for determination of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities respectively on S. racemosa bark extract. The results exhibited significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect at 300 and 500mg/kg doses.
