Spilanthes acmella, also identified as Akarkara (Toothache plant), is a crucial herb with immense applications both in the medical well dental field. Its biologically active component, Spilanthol, believed to be responsible for an array of wields like anti-toothache, analgesic, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diuretic anti-oxidant, immune-modulatory, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer agent,...

Physalis angulata is a medicinal plant used for the treatment of malaria, ulcer, pains and other diverse ailments. The present study evaluated the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic leaf extract of the plant. Acetic acid-induced abdominal contraction or writhing analgesic models in Swiss albino mice (13-23g) were used for studying analgesic activity of the leaf extract. 200,...

Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). High inflammatory cytokine [interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8] levels and low anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) levels are indicators of a high risk for developing HUS in STEC-infected children. In this study, we investigated inhibitory action of telithromycin, a ketolide, against STEC and against...

The methanolic extract of the leaves of Buchanania Lanzan was investigated for its anti inflammatory activity in animal models. The extract at different doses used showed good anti inflammatory activity which has been done significantly, by the formation of oedema induced by carrageenan. These results were also comparable to aspirin, the reference drugs used in this study. The results from pres...

The methanolic extract of a macrofungus, P. rimosus possessed significant in vitro superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical and nitric oxide scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibiting activities. The anti-inflammatory activity of the extract was evaluated in carrageenan and dextran induced acute and formalin induced chronic inflammatory models in mice. The extract showed remarkable anti-inflammator...

The objective of the study was to investigate the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of aqueous extract of Ocimum sanctum leaf. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated using in vitro Ferric reducing power, Free radical scavenging activity by DPPH method, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, Nitric oxide radical scavenging activity, Hyaluronidase inhibition assay....

aim of the study: the objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of the hydro-alcoholic extract of the pods of astragalus hamosus (haah), a plant used in iranian traditional medicine, and antinociceptive effects of different fractions in animal models. material and methods: the anti-inflammatory effect was evaluated by the rat paw edema induced by for...

objective(s) current study was undertaken to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous extract of teucrium chamaedrys in mice and rats. materials and methods for evaluating of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, we used the carrageenan- and dextran-induced paw oedema, acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flick and formalin pain tests. results the extract of t. c...

results in vitro analysis showed that the greater the concentration of the extract, the greater the cytotoxicity. conclusions the crude extract of p. australis might be cytotoxic at high concentrations as evaluated against the cell line. materials and methods the mtt cytotoxicity assay was performed on a 3t3 mouse fibroblast cell line to measure the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the crude form...
