Pseudarthria viscida L. Wight & Arnott belongs to family Leguminosae commonly called as Salaparni is an essential component of potent Ayurvedic formulations. It has been screened for antioxidant, cytotoxic, antidiabetic & anti-diarrhoeal activity. Currently, there is no enough scientific evidence or literary resources on the anti-inflammatory & antipyretic activity of this plant. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring P.viscida for its therapeutic potentials as anti-inflammatory & antipyretic agent. A research was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory property ( inflammation-induced to rat paw oedema by carrageenan & cotton pellet granuloma) & antipyretic (Pyrexia induced by brewer’s yeast) activities of petroleum ether extract of Pseudarthria viscida (PEPV) stems & roots in albino rats. Pre-treatment of the animals with the plant extract (100 & 200 mg/kg, p.o.) has prevented the inflammation produced evident by the change in volume of paw oedema which is proportional to the dose. A maximum effect was seen at 200 mg/kg, which was competent to Indomethacin (10 mg/kg, i.p). The antipyretic effect of PEPV (100 & 200 mg/kg, p.o.), measured as percentage lowering in body heat was compared with st&ard, Paracetamol (150 mg/kg, p.o.). The anti-inflammatory & antipyretic activities showed dose-related response at 100 mg/kg & 200 mg/kg, when compared to the st&ard. This current research investigated & advocates the anti pyretic property & anti-inflammatory potency of Pseudarthria viscida, and it supports the application of the plant in medicine as per ethnopharmacology.

The various extracts ofMerremia tridentatewere investigated for its anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities in male albino rats. The anti-inflammatory activity was carried out using carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema model and the anti-arthritic activity was carried out using complete Freund’s adjuvant induced arthritis model. Indomethacin (10 mg/kg bw) was used as a standard drug. The ethanol extract ofM. tridentateexhibited significant dose dependent activity in acute inflammation and the doses of 100 mg/kg bw and 200 mg/kg bw produced 38.3% and 42.8% inhibition respectively after 3 h as compared with that of the standard drug which showed 48.5% inhibition. In arthritis model, the doses of 100 mg/kg bw and 200 mg/kg bw of the ethanol extract produced 49.0% and 51.7% inhibition respectively after 19 days when compared with that of the standard drug (55.5%). Both doses of the ethanol extract ofM. tridentateexhibit significant anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities.

Scope and Objective:Ocimum sanctum and Azadirachta indicaare known to be safe and effective anti-inflammatory agents in ayurveda. So, this study was planned to evaluate and compare anti-inflammatory activity of Ocimum sanctum, Azadirachta indica and combination of Ocimum sanctum + Azadirachta indica (COA) with Aspirin on acute inflammation in rats and also to assess mechanism behind their anti-inflammatory action. Materials and Methods: Wistar albino rats of either sex (150-250 g) were divided into 5 groups with six rats in each group. To induce inflammation, formalin (2.5%, 0.1 ml) was injected into sub-plantar region of left hind paw of rats. The study groups were administered orally with distilled water (3 ml), Aspirin (200 mg/kg), Ocimum sanctum (400 mg/kg), Azadirachta indica (500 mg/kg) and COA (400 mg/kgOcimum sanctum+500 mg/kgAzadirachta indica) half an hour before the formalin challenge. Effect of test drugs on acute inflammation was assessed by rat paw oedema test&mechanism behind their action was assessed using histopathological examination. Results:In rat paw oedema test, Ocimum sanctum, Azadirachta indica and COA groups showed significant reductionin oedema as compared to control; Azadirachta indica and COA groupsalso showed comparable effect to Aspirin group. In histopathological examination, Aspirin, Azadirachta indica and COA groups caused significant reduction in vasodilation, oedema, infiltration and margination of neutrophils while Ocimum sanctum group only caused significant reduction in oedema. Conclusion: This study revealedthat all test groups have significant anti-inflammatory efficacy;Azadirachta indica and COA also have comparable efficacy to Aspirin.

Fioria vitifolia Linn., (Malvacae) has been extensively used in folk medicine for the treatment of common cold, flu, and upper respiratory infections and also as an immune system booster. Steroids, flavonoids, and triterpenes, gossypin alkaloids have been isolated from the whole part of the plant. In the present study, the methanolic extract of dried plant of Fioria vitifolia (MEFV) was investigated for anti-inflammatory (carrageenan induced rat paw oedema) and anti-pyretic (brewer’s yeast induced pyrexia) activities. Pre-treatment with the extract (250-500mg/ kg, p. o) significantly prevented increase in volume of paw oedema in dose dependent manner. A maximal effect was observed at 500mg/kg which was comparable to diclofenac (20mg/kg, orally). Ceiling effect at the dose of 500mg/kg was observed. The anti-pyretic effect of MEFV (measured as % reduction in body temperature) was compared with paracetamol (150mg/kg, orally). MEFV in dose of 500mg/kg caused significant decrease in body temperature of rats. In conclusion, this study has established the anti-inflammatory activity and anti pyretic activity of Fioria vitifolia and thus, justifies the ethnicuses of the plant.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v2i7.15154 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, June 2013, 2(7): 119-121

BackgroundEarlier, the lichens are used in traditional medicines by different cultures across the world. As the Dirinaria genus has been shown to be biologically active against inflammation in folklore, we assessed the in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory profile of Dirinaria consimilis.Material and methodsInitially, the hydroalcoholic extract of lichen, D. consimilis (Dc-HE) was prepared and re-extracted with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol. The resultant extracts were evaluated for their in vitro (protein denaturation method), acute toxicity and in vivo (formalin-induced rat paw oedema assay) anti-inflammatory studies.ResultsAmong all the tested extracts, the acetone and chloroform extract of D. consimilis depicted prominent anti-inflammatory activity in both the bioassays. The acetone extract inhibited protein denaturation with IC50 value of about 468 µg/mL while the standard (Indomethacin) with 120 µg/mL. Moreover, the Dc-HE was screened for acute toxicity studies in male albino rats up to 2000 mg/Kg b.w dosage. The in vivo anti-inflammatory analysis of acetone extract (200 mg/mL) showed potent reduction of rat paw oedema nearer to that of the standard, whereas chloroform extract depicted moderate depletion and the other extracts revealed mild inhibitory profile against inflammation.ConclusionThis study reveals that the lichen, D. consimilis might be a good source of anti-inflammatory agents.

Background: In the present study synthesis and biological assessment of nine new ethyl [(4,5-disubstituted- 4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl]acetate derivatives 2(a-i) is performed. Methods: The title compounds were characterized by their analytical and spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vivo anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenaninduced rat paw oedema method and in vitro antimicrobial activity. All the compounds exhibited good anti-inflammatory activity; especially compound 2h produced the maximum effect i.e., 62.5 % comparable to that of standard, diclofenac. The antimicrobial screening results indicated that some of the newly synthesized compounds showed good antibacterial activity, especially against Escherichia coli. Results: All the synthesized thioacetate derivatives of triazoles were also studied for their interactions with the enzymes COX-I and COX-II, two important targets of inflammation pathway, through docking analysis. All the compounds showed good binding affinities with both the enzymes with a maximum value of -8.1 for 2e kcal/mol against COX-I. Conclusion: Docking analysis predicted that our compounds reduce inflammation nonselectively by inhibiting both COX-I and COX-II of inflammatory pathway just like other nonselactive NSAIDS.

A novel series of 2-(substituted phenoxy)-N-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl)acetamide and N-(2-bromocyclohexyl)-2-(substituted phenoxy)acetamide derivatives having cyclohexyl nucleus as common in both types were synthesized and assessed for their anti-inflammatory activity by a carrageenan induced rat paw oedema method, analgesic activity by Eddy?s hot plate method and antipyretic activity by brewer?s yeast induced pyrexia method. All the novel derivatives have been synthesized by the reaction of camphor and similar ketone having cyclohexane nucleus (e.g. 2-bromocyclohexanone) with ammonium carbonate and formic acid resulting in the formation of aromatic amines (1a-b). These amines on further chloroacetylation with chloroacetylchloride give compounds (2a-b). Compounds (2a-b) are converted to 2-(substituted phenoxy)-N-(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl) acetamide and N-(2-bromocyclohexyl)-2-(substituted phenoxy)acetamide derivatives on treatment with substituted phenol. Among the series 3a-f, 3i, 3k, 3l compounds showed significant anti-inflammatory activity as compared to the standard drug diclofenac sodium and also compound 3a-f, 3h, 3j, 3k exhibit significant analgesic activity as compared to the standard drug. Compounds 3a-f and 3k showed antipyretic activity nearly to the standard drug indomethacin. Compounds 3a-f and 3k possess anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities near to the standard.

Background: Lichens which are betide to mangroves are termed as Manglicolous Lichens (ML). As these ML are habituated under stress conditions, they are screened for unique metabolites and biological activities. Objective: The study aimed to establish the chemical and biological profile of ML, Graphis ajarekarii. Methods: The Ethyl Acetate Extract of G. ajarekarii (EAE) was subjected to chromatographic techniques and the obtained isolates were characterized by spectroscopic analysis. The hydroalcoholic extract of G. ajarekarii (AE), EAE, isolates and Hydroalcoholic Extract of host (HE) were evaluated for fibrinolytic (fibrin clot method), in vitro (protein denaturation method) and in vivo (formalin-induced rat paw oedema assay), anti-inflammatory and cytotoxicity (MTT assay) activities. Results: Chemical investigation of the EAE led to the isolation of two known compounds namely atranorin (1) and ribenone (2), which were confirmed by spectral data. The AE and EAE gradually lysed the fibrin clot with 94.54 and 65.07%, respectively, at 24 h. The AE inhibited protein denaturation of about 88.06%, while the standard (Indomethacin) with 93.62%. Similarly, the in vivo antiinflammatory analysis of AE (200 mg/mL) showed potent reduction of rat paw oedema than the standard, whereas EAE and 1 depicted moderate depletion. In addition, the AE revealed prominence inhibition on MCF-7, DU145 and K-562 with IC50 values of 69.5, 42.5 and 38 µg/mL, respectively, whereas the HE exhibited mild inhibitory profile against fibrin clot, inflammation and cancer. Conclusion: From the results, it can be concluded that the G. ajarekarii has an aptitude to act against coagulation, inflammation and cancer cells.

Alchornea cordifolia (Schum and Thonn) Muell. Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) is a traditional medicinal plant widely distributed in West Africa including Nigeria.The plant has been used for ethnomedicinal purposes against wounds, ulcers, and sores. The decoction of the leaves has been reported to provide remedies for bronchial problems, rheumatic pain and cough. From the dichloromethane and ethyl acetate soluble parts of the Methanol leaf extract, two compounds namely Lup-20(29)-en-3c-ol (lupenol) and Methyl 3, 4,5-trihydroxy benzoate (Methyl gallate) were isolated and their structures elucidated. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of the compounds on carrageenan-induced paw oedema and formalin-induced pain in rats showed that compound 2 significantly (P<0.05) inhibit rat paw oedema compared to the standard drugs (Piroxicam and Morphine) used, while on formalin-induced pain in rats, the same trend was observed and were both comparable to Piroxicam and morphine, the standard anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents used, respectively. Compound 1 did not show any significant anti-inflammatory activity compared to control, likewise compound 2. Thus, compound 2, Methyl trihydroxy benzoate, might be responsible for the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of this plant.Keywords: Alchornea cordifolia, Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic, Methyl Trihydroxy Benzoate
