ANTIPYRETIC ACTIVITY OF THESPESIA POPULNEA FRUITS

Abstract

In the present study, the alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Thespesia populnea were investigated for their antipyretic activity. Suspension of subcutaneous administration of brewer’s yeast in albino rat leads to pyrexia. Oral administration of extracts at a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight significantly reduced the elevated body temperature of rat. This antipyretic effect has been compared with antipyretic effect of standard paracetamol.
