FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRA-RED SPECTROSCOPY (FTIR) ANALYSIS AND IN-VITRO ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF ALMOND GUM
AbstractObjectives: The anti-inflammatory activity of powdered almond gum (Prunus dulcis) was studied by using HRBC membrane stabilizing method and the bioactive compounds which are responsible for anti-inflammatory activity was analyzed by using FTIR analysis. Methods: To study the in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity Human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization method has been used and for identification of functional groups Fourier Transform infra-red spectroscopy was used. Result and Conclusion: Almond gum resin serves as a good anti-inflammatory agent due to the presence of saponins, steroids, terpenoids and xylan which were identified from FTIR analysis.
