BOILED MILK INDUCED PYREXIA IN RABBITS- ANTIPYRETIC ACTIVITY VERNONIA CINEREA ROOTS
AbstractAntipyretic effect of petroleum ether and chloroform soluble fractions of ethanol extract of the roots of Vernonia cinerea was investigated. Intraperitoneal administration of boiled milk at a dose 0.5 ml/kg body weight in albino rabbit leads to pyrexia. Intraperitoneal (i.p. route) administration of petroleum ether and chloroform soluble fractions of ethanol extract of the roots of Vernonia cinerea at a dose 250 mg/kg body weight were shown significantly reduce the elevated body temperature of rabbit which was compared with standard aspirin (market product) and solvent used.
