Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity of the alcoholic extract of Papierbasdoring leaves
Journal Title: Scientia Agriculturae - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Powdered, air-dried leaves of Papierbasdoring were exhaustively extracted with hot 80% MeOH, under reflux. The dry residue obtained was suspended in distilled water. Anti-inflammatory effect was determined according to the rat paw edema method using indomethacin as a reference drug. The methanolic extract of the leaves of Papierbasdoring exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity.
