In the present study, analysis of in vitro inflammatory showed whole plant of Rhizophora mucronata Lam. (Malpighiales: Rhizophoraceae) can be the potent source. The data from this study showed that the R. mucronata leaf, bark and root extract could serve as an important anti-inflammatory agent. Moreover, among the three extracts, the stilt root and leaves extract showed highest anti inflammatory. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity of the selected plant extracts was evaluated using albumin denaturation, membrane stabilization and proteinase inhibitory assays. As part of the investigation on the mechanism of the anti-inflammation activity, ability of extract protein denaturation was studied. Maximum inhibition (296.26%) was observed from root extract followed by bark (259.48%) and leaf (237.62%). The extracts inhibited the heat induced hemolysis of RBCs to varying degree as show in table below. The maximum inhibition 284.17% was observed from bark extract followed by root (265.05%) and leaf (232.61%). It reveals that these phytochemical constituents are responsible to maximum protection of protein denaturation, albumin denaturation and membrane stabilization assay. The future work will be determination of anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities by in vivo models.

To study the anti-inflammatory effect of Punica granatum extract against the oral microbes. Oral diseases continue to be a major health problem worldwide. Dental caries and periodontal diseases are among the most important global oral health problems, although conditions such as oral and pharyngeal cancers and oral tissue lesions are also significant health concerns. Pomegranate extracts have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to confer health benefits in a number of inflammatory diseases, microbial infections and cancer. The anti-inflammatory activity of pomegranate extract was evaluated by protein denaturation assay, and the results were read spectrophotometrically. Denaturation of proteins is a great‐ documented cause of inflammation. As a part of the investigation on the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity, the ability to extract to inhibit protein denaturation was studied. It was effective in inhibiting heat induced albumin denaturation at different concentrations as shown in Table 1. Maximum inhibition, 70.12±1.12% was observed at500µg/ml. IC50 value was found to be 105.35±1.99µg/ml. Aspirin, a standard anti-inflammatory drug showed the maximum inhibition, 77.12±1.42% at the concentration of 200µg/ml. Hence it can be concluded that pomegranate extract has anti-inflammatory property and also can be used in products such as toothpaste and mouth wash etc.

The present research work aimed at evaluating the anti-inflammatory activity of Zingiber officinalis with Diclofenac sodium by HRBC membrane stabilization & Protein denaturation. The precluding of hypotonicity induced HRBC membrane lysis was taken as a measure of the anti-inflammatory activity. The percentage of membrane stabilization at different concentrations was performed for methanolic, hydro-methanolic ginger extract and diclofenac sodium. At a dose of 50µg/ml the maximum membrane stabilization 86.34% was found for Ginger extract(test) and at a dose of 500 mcg/ml membrane stabilization was found 91.16% for diclofenac sodium(standard) and the membrane stabilization for combination (ginger with diclofenac sodium) at a dose of 50µg/ml was recorded 86.43%, as the concentration increase(1000 mcg/ml) for combination(ginger with diclofenac sodium) the percentage protection was decreased. In vitro protein denaturation was performed by using egg albumin method. Maximum inhibition was observed in case of methanolic extract of ginger at concentration 1000mcg/ml and it was 78.83±5.17 and in hydro methanolic extract for Diclofenac sodium at concentration 1000mcg/ml and it was 63.37±2.78.Minimum inhibition observed in combination of methanolic extract of ginger and diclofenac sodium at concentration 1000mcg/ml and it was 25.27±1.76 and in combination of hydro-methanolic extract of ginger and Diclofenac sodium at concentration 1000mcg/ml and it was 28.23±3.14. The results of this study divulge that low dose combination of ginger and diclofenac sodium has higher anti-inflammatory activity than diclofenac sodium and ginger alone. With this initial study, research work could be extended further; therefore, the particular pharmacological action for the combination of ginger with diclofenac sodium could be discovered.

The pursuance of novel antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents has been expanding due to a significant need for more efficient pharmacotherapy of various infections and chronic diseases. During the last decade, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacological properties of curcumin have been extensively studied. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of curcumin against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as its antifungal activity by using in vitro agar well diffusion assay. Moreover, the anti-inflammatory activity of curcumin was determined with in vitro assay of inhibition of protein denaturation. Results demonstrated wide antimicrobial activity of curcumin upon all of the test bacteria and fungi. The strongest activity of curcumin was observed at a concentration of 0.50 mg/ml against S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans, resulting in a maximum zone of inhibition of 14.7 mm, 14.3 mm, 13.7 mm, 10.7 mm and 10.7 mm, respectively. Findings suggested that the antimicrobial activity of curcuminis dependent upon the concentrations. Furthermore, results demonstrated high effectiveness of curcumin compared to standard acetylsalicylic acid in inhibiting heat-induced protein denaturation, which activity is also depended upon the concentrations. The present study emphasises the potential application of curcumin as a natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. However, findings of this study are restricted to in vitro assays and consideration should be given to conducting a study involving wider dose range test substances as well as including further research on in vivo models.
