Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of ruinex maritimus

Anti-inflammatory activity of alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the seeds of Rumex maritimus was determined in the rat paw oedema test. At doses of 100 mg/kg both alcoholic and aqueous extracts were found to exhibit significant activity compared with Indomethacin [20 mg/kg]. The extracts also showed marked analgesic activity in mice, compared with acetylsalicylic acid [100 mg/kg] in acetic acid induced writhing test

Three phytoconstituents from rutnex maritimus seeds

Three new aliphatic compounds have been isolated and identified from Rnmex maritimus seeds. These have been characterized as n-dotriaconta-3-one [1], n-heptacos-18, 20, 22-trien-l-ol [2] and 22-hexyl-12-[alpha-tetradecahydroanthracenyl]-undecan-3-ol-l-oic acid [3] by spectral and chemical analyses

Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of astragalus hamosus

Anti-inflammatory activity of alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the legumes of Astragalus hamosus was determined using rat paw oedema test. At oral doses of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg, the extract inhibited oedema significantly [p<0.01] compared with indomethacin and also showed marked analgesic activity in mice [p<0.25], compared with acetylsalicylic acid in acetic acid-induced writhing test. Toxicity studies were carried and the extracts did not exhibit any toxicity up to 1 g/kg body weight in experimental animals

Antimicrobial activity of uraria lagopoides DC

Various extracts of Uraria lagopoides were tested for antimicrobial activity and the ethanol and chloroform extracts of the aerial parts of the plant were found to show inhibiting activity against some bacterial and fungal species
