| Abstract: | The ethanolic extract of Wattakaka volubilis (Linn.f.) Stapf. was screened for its
anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in animals. The extract showed a significant inhibition of
carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and acetic acid-induced writhing in mice compared to the
standard anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug, indomethacin. The extract also showed potent
in vitro inhibition of FeCl2-ascorbic acid-stimulated mice liver lipid peroxidation. |
