ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF SAMADERA INDICA LEAVES BY MEMBRANE STABILIZATION
AbstractThe present work aims at evaluating the anti-inflammatory activity of Samadera indica by HRBC membrane stabilization. The prevention of hypotonicity induced HRBC membrane lysis was taken as a measure of the anti-inflammatory activity. The anti-inflammatory activity of the crude ethanol extract, aqueous extract of leaves part of Samadera indica were compared to that of the standard drug diclofenac. The extract in concentration of 250-1000 µg/ml showed a dose dependent inhibition of haemolysis of erythrocyte induced by hypotonic solution. The ethanolic extract of Samadera indica showed significant anti-inflammatory activity in comparison to aqueous extract and with standard drug diclofenac.
