ABSTRACT
Crude methanolic extracts of selected legumes namely, black gram [Vigna mungo L.], green gram [Vigna radiata [L.] R. Wilczek], soybean [Glycine max [L.] Merr.] and lentil [Lens culinaris Medik.] were investigated for anti-inflammatory effects, using COX-2 producing PGE[2] inhibitory assay. Percentage inhibition observed was 73.93, 79.84, 92.17 and 74.47 for black gram, green gram, soybean and lentil respectively at 20microg/ml extract concentration. The l00 micro g/ml concentration showed increase in the percent inhibition except for soybean. This is the first report on COX-2 inhibitory potential of food legumes
