In the present study of chloroform extract of leaves of Flaveria trinervia (Sprengel) C.Mohr. (Asteraceae) obtained by soxhlet extraction method was tested for antiinflammatory activity by carrageenan induced paw edema in rats. The chloroform extract in dose of 250mg /kg b.w was administered orally.Antiinflammatory activity effect was compared with standard drug – Indomethacin (10mg/kg b.w) sho...

Cyperus rotundus Linn. rhizomes extracts were evaluated against six important pathogenic microbes viz. Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans . The powdered rhizome extracts were successively extracted with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethanol and water using Soxhlet apparatus. The antibacterial and antifunga...
