Aganosma dichotoma (Roth) K. Schum. is an indigenous plant of Bangladesh. Traditional healers use this plant to treat many diseases. In order to systematically explore the medicinal values of this plant, the crude methanol extract of leaves of A. dichotoma were screened for analgesic and antidiarrheal activities in mice model. The peripheral and central analgesic actions were determined by using acetic acid-induced writhing and tail immersion methods. The extract significantly (p < 0.05) attenuated the acetic acid-induced writhing in a dose dependent manner. A noticeable dose-dependent increase (p < 0.05) of latency period was also observed in the tail immersion method. In the castor oil induced anti-diarrheal assay, the extract exhibited significant (p < 0.05) anti-diarrheal effect at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 18(1): 15-19, 2015

Background: Polyalthia simiarum (Hook. F. &Thomson) exhibits different effects in human body. Objective: As a part of ongoing research on medicinal plants of Bangladesh, the present study is focused to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of stem bark of Polyalthia simiarum (Annonaceae). Methodology: The ethyl acetate (EA) and petroleum ether (PE) extracts were subjected to qualitative chemical investigation for the identification of different phytoconstituents. The analgesic activity was determined for its central and peripheral pharmacological actions using tail immersion method and acetic acid-induced writhing test. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by carrageenan induced paw edema in rats. Analgesic and anti-inflammatory data were evaluated statistically analysed by Dunnett’s-T test. Result: Both extracts at the dose of 50- and 100 mg/kg b.w., produced significant increase in pain threshold in tail immersion method whereas significantly reduced the writhing caused by acetic acid in a dose dependent manner. The EA and PE extracts showed anti-inflammatory activities at 50- and 100 mg/kg body weight. Among all the extracts, the EA extract showed a dose dependent and comparable analgesic activity in all the tested methods and also reduced the paw edema considerably (27.5% and 39.1% inhibition after 4h), in dose dependent manner when compared to carrageenan induced control rat. Conclusion: Therefore, the EA and PE extracts of Polyalthia simiarum were capable to exhibit moderate analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. This is the first report of analgesic and anti-inflammatory potential of Polyalthia simiarum and can be further investigated to isolate the active compounds responsible for the biological activities.

The present study was carried out to investigate the possible analgesic, neuropharmacological and cytotoxic activities of the methanolic extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum Linn. leaves. The analgesic and neuropharmacological activities of Trigonella foenum-graecum Linn. were investigated at the doses of 100mg/kg, 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg of body weight in mice. Analgesic potential of the extract was evaluated for centrally acting analgesic property using tail immersion method and peripheral analgesic actions using acetic acid-induced writhing test. In acetic acid-induced writhing test, extract produced a significant (p < 0.001) inhibition of writhing response in a dose dependent manner but maximum inhibition (93.46%) of writhing was found at 400mg/kg dose. In tail immersion method, extract caused a significant (p < 0.001) increase in latency time and the results were comparable to the standard drug Diclofenac- Sodium. In addition, neuropharmacological property of crude extract was carried out by Hole cross and Open field test. The extract significantly (p < 0.05-0.001) displayed a dose dependent suppression of motor activity, exploratory behaviour. Furthermore, the extract was subjected to Brine Shrimp lethality bioassay for primary evaluation of cytotoxicity, where the extract was found to be highly toxic to Brine Shrimp nauplii, having LC50 values of 10μg/ml while the LC50 of the reference anticancer drug vincristine sulphate was 0.66μg/ml. The results of this present study suggest that the extract possesses analgesic, cytotoxic and CNS depressant activities.

Syzygium cumini has been used in folk medicine to treat many diseases. To establish the potential medicinal value of leaves of S. cumini, the current study was carried out to assess the peripheral analgesic and anti-diarrheal activities in mice model. The crude methanol extract and its petroleum ether and chloroform soluble fraction were administered to the experimental mice at a dose of 200- and 400- mg/kg b.w. (denoted as CME1, CME2, PESF1, PESF2, CLSF1 and CLSF2 respectively) using acetic acid induced writhing method and castrol oil induced anti-diarrheal assay protocol. The extract and its Kupchan fractions exhibited significant (p < 0.001) reduction of writhing response in a dose dependent manner. In the acetic acid-induced writhing test, the activity decreased in the order diclofenac (75.33%) > PESF2 (70.33%) > CME2 (67.00%) > PESF1 (64.00%) > CLSF2 (61.33%) > CME1 (56.67%) >CLSF1 (48.67%). All the fractions significantly (p < 0.001) attenuated anti-diarrheal effect in a dose dependent manner with the highest activity observed by CME2 (47.73%) as compared to standard lopeiramide (54.55%). The results of our study, being reported for the first time, provide reasonable indication that the methanol extract of S. cumini leaf and its different fractions possess peripheral analgesic and antidiarrheal activities.

The sunflower seed is the seed of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus). The methanol extract of seeds of Helianthus annuus were screened for analgesic activity in mice model to systematically explore the medicinal values of the plant. Acetic acid induced writhing and hot plate methods were used to confirm the central and peripheral analgesic action. In case of acetic acid-induced writhing test the extract showed significant (P <0.05) analgesic potential at doses 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight (50.35 and 57.85% inhibition, respectively). In the hot plate method, increase (p < 0.05) of latency period was also observed in comparison to standard aspirin. At 60 minutes, the latency period of two different doses (100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) was found at 13 ± 0.91 and 16.5 ± 1.55 second. The results obtained support the use of Helianthus annuus seeds in painful conditions acting both centrally and peripherally.Islam et al., International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, March 2016, 5(4): 38-40http://www.icpjonline.com/documents/Vol5Issue4/02.pdf

AbstractThe present study was designed to investigate the anti-nociceptive activity of a few structurally related trimethoxy flavones (7,2′,3′-TMF, 7,2′,4′-TMF, 7,3′,4′-TMF and 7,5,4′-TMF) and the possible mechanisms involved.Anti-nociceptive activity was evaluated in mice by employing acetic acid-induced writhing, formalin-induced nociception and hot water tail immersion methods. The involvement of opioid, GABAergic, tryptaminergic, adrenergic and dopaminergic mechanisms and KTrimethoxy flavones exhibited a significant and dose-dependent inhibition of acetic acid writhing. The paw-licking response time was reduced both in the early and late phases of formalin nociception in a dose-dependent manner by trimethoxy flavones. A significant increase in tail withdrawal latency time was also observed after trimethoxy flavones treatment. These observations revealed the potential anti-nociceptive action of the investigated trimethoxy flavones. Pretreatment with naloxone and bicuculline significantly attenuated the reduction of abdominal constrictions produced by all the tested trimethoxy flavones indicating a definite role of opioid and GABAergic mechanisms in the anti-nociceptive effect of trimethoxy flavones. The anti-nociceptive action elicited by various trimethoxy flavones was differently modulated by glibenclamide, ondansetron, yohimbine and sulpiride.The investigated trimethoxy flavones exhibited promising anti-nociceptive activity in various nociceptive models, and multiple mechanisms are involved in the anti-nociceptive activity of these compounds.

Pupalia lappacea Juss (Family: Amaranthaceae) is claimed to be useful in treatment of bone fracture, wounds, boils, cough, toothache, fever and malaria. The study was aimed to evaluate the 80% aqueous ethanolic extract of aerial parts of P. lappacea for antinociceptive and antipyretic activities to verify the traditional claim. The extract was orally administered at doses of 200, 400 and 600 mg/kg. The extract has significantly (P<0.01) reduced the nociception induced by acetic acid. The effect produced was in dose dependent manner. The antinociceptive effect was not reversed by pretreatment with naloxone in acetic acid induced writhing test. In hot plate method, the extract has significantly increased the latency time of jump. The naloxone has partially antagonised the antinociception of extract in hot plate test indicating P. lappacea has morphinomimetic properties. In the study of the CNS-depressant effects, the extract was found to produce significant reduction in head pokes and locomotion in mice by using hole board and locomotor activity test respectively. The extract has significantly reduced the rectal temperature in yeast induced pyrexia in rats at 600 mg/kg. The activity produced by extract was in dose dependent manner. Phytochemical investigation of ethanolic extract of P. lappacea revealed the presence of steroids and/or triterpenoids, flavonoids and phenolic compounds which may be responsible for antinociceptive and antipyretic activity of P. lappacea.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v2i2.13193 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal 2013, 2(2): 23-28

Reduction Of Pain

Ampelocissus barbata (Wall.) Planch. is a native medicinal herb in Bangladesh. The present study was aimed at exploring the phytochemical compositions and analgesic potential of the plant in vivo. The methanol extract of A. barbata along with its different fractions were subjected to phytochemical evaluation through established chemical tests for ascertaining the available pool of secondary metabolites within the plant. Eventually, the presence of at least eleven classes of phytoconstituents viz. alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, glycosides, saponins, starch, phytosterols, coumarins, tanins, resins and quinones were demonstrated. Among the four partitonates, ethyl acetate soluble fraction of A. barbata illustrated the maximum types of secondary metabolites qualitatively. The ability of the crude methanol extract (MEAB) and its ethyl acetate soluble fraction (EAAB) to suppress nociception both centrally and peripherally were investigated in Swiss albino mice by tail immersion method and acetic acid-induced writhing method, respectively. At the 90th minute of the tail immersion study, both MEAB and EAAB administered at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (MEAB1, MEAB2, EAAB1, EAAB2) exhibited 240.41%, 285.34%, 302.83% and 339.60% elongation of pain response, respectively, in comparison to the standard, pentazocine which effectuated 421.36% elongation at the same mark. Moreover, the test samples at the same doses as before exhibited reduction of pain sensation by 66.81%, 74.08%, 76.81%, and 83.52%, respectively, in the acetic acid-induced writhing response in mice. Both the central and peripheral analgesic potentials of EAAB were discernibly higher than those of MEAB at both doses. The findings of the study represents the pharmacological potential of this species in appropriate animal model for the first time and provides valid foundation to warrant future scientific endeavors into the plant.

Hemigraphis hirta has been used by folk practitioners to alleviate symptoms of several diseases, although the pharmacological activities of this plant have not been thoroughly explored. The current study was designed to assess the anti-diarrheal and CNS depressant activities of H. hirta in mice model. For both assays, the experimental mice received the methanolic crude extract and its petroleum ether soluble fraction at dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight which are denoted as CME 200, CME 400, PESF 200 and PESF 400, respectively. Both fractions remarkably attenuated castor oil-induced diarrheal effect in a dose-dependent manner and the results were comparable to standard loperamide (89.47%). Among all, PESF 400 exhibited statistically significant (p < 0.01) anti-diarrheal activity as demonstrated by 78.95% inhibition of defacetion. Compared to reference drug diazepam, all the tested samples considerably shortened the time for onset of sleep and prolonged the duration of phenobarbitoneinduced sleep in mice. The results of our present study, being reported for the first time, demonstrate that the methanol extract of leaves of H. hirta and its organic soluble partionates possesses significant anti-diarrheal and CNS depressant properties. However, this preliminary screening requires further detailed investigation to confirm these findings as well as to isolate and characterize the bioactive compounds.

The antitumor, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of the methanol extract (MEGM) of Glochidion multiloculare and its petroleum ether (PEFGM), carbon tetrachloride (CTFGM) and chloroform (CHFGM) soluble fractions were investigated. The antitumor activity of the extract/fractions was determined against Ehrlich’s ascites carcinoma (EAC) in mice at 20 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally. Increase of survival time by 24 ± 0.12, 26 ± 0.40, 21 ± 0.12 and 27 ± 0.42 days was observed by the MEGM, PEFGM, CTFGM and CHFGM treated tumor bearing mice compared to the control group (20 ± 0.12 days). Hematological studies revealed that heamoglobin (Hb) content was decreased in EAC treated mice whereas restoration to normal levels was observed in extract/fractions treated animals. Significant decrease in RBC and increase in WBC counts were observed in extract/fractions treated animals when compared to EAC affected animals. Both extract and fractions at the dose of 100 mg/kg b.w. significantly increased the pain threshold in tail immersion method and reduced the writhing caused by acetic acid induced method. The MEGM, PEFGM, CTFGM and CHFGM showed anti-inflammatory activities at 100 mg/kg b.w. This is the first report of antitumor, analgesic and anti-inflammatory potential of G. multiloculare.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 18(2): 142-148, 2015
