Anti Inflammation

Salsola cyclophylla, an edible halophyte, is traditionally used for inflammation and pain. To confirm the claimed anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, a detailed study on respective pharmacological actions was undertaken. The activities are contemplated to arise from its phytoconstituents. The LC-MS analysis of S. cyclophylla 95% aqueous-ethanolic extract revealed the presence of 52 compounds belonging to phenols, flavonoids, coumarins, and aliphatics class. A high concentration of Mn, Fe, and Zn was detected by atomic absorption spectroscopic analysis. The ethyl acetate extract showed the highest flavonoid contents (5.94 ± 0.04 mg/g, Quercetin Equivalents) and Fe2+-chelation (52%) potential with DPPH radicals-quenching IC50 at 1.35 ± 0.16 mg/mL, while the aqueous ethanolic extract exhibited maximum phenolics contents (136.08 ± 0.12 mg/g, gallic acid equivalents) with DPPH scavenging potential at IC50 0.615 ± 0.06 mg/mL. Aqueous ethanolic extract and standard quercetin DPPH radicals scavenging’s were equal potent at 10 mg/mL concentrations. The aqueous ethanolic extract showed highest analgesic effect with pain reduction rates 89.86% (p = 0.03), 87.50% (p < 0.01), and 99.66% (p = 0.0004) after 60, 90, and 120 min, respectively. Additionally, aqueous ethanolic extract exhibited the highest anti-inflammation capacity at 41.07% (p < 0.0001), 34.51% (p < 0.0001), and 24.82% (p < 0.0001) after 2, 3, and 6 h of extract’s administration, respectively. The phytochemical constituents, significant anti-oxidant potential, remarkable analgesic, and anti-inflammatory bioactivities of extracts supported the traditionally claimed anti-inflammatory and analgesic plant activities.

Physalis peruviana calyces are used extensively in folk medicine. The crude ethanolic extract and some fractions of calyces were evaluated in order to explore antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by the TPA-induced ear edema model. The antioxidant in vitro activity was measured by means of the superoxide and nitric oxide scavenging activity of the extracts and fractions. The butanolic fraction was found to be promising due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Therefore, a bio-assay guided approach was employed to isolate and identify rutin (1) and nicotoflorin (2) from their NMR spectroscopic and MS data. The identification of rutin in calyces of P. peruviana supports the possible use of this waste material for phytotherapeutic, nutraceutical and cosmetic preparations.

The presented work represents phytochemical analysis, Antioxidant assay and Antimicrobial activity of Bhut jolokia pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq) extracted by ethanol as solvent. The ethanolic extract of Bhut jolokia pepper showed the presence of terpenoids, steroids, saponins and flavonoids. Antimicrobial assay was done with varying concentration (250-1000µg/ml) of pepper extract using tetracycline as control by well diffusion method, the extract at 750µg/ml shown best inhibition zone and Staphylococcus aureus showed the highest zone of inhibition at all concentration compared to other bacteria species with maximum zone of inhibition of 27mm. The DPPH scavenging assay for antioxidant activity at 517nm showed positive activity for scavenging, scavenging increased with the concentration of extract. Thus, Bhut jolokia could be effective in treating diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus from antimicrobial assay result.

AbstractThe commercially processedThe phytochemical analysis showed that the extract contained flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, tannins and saponins. In the acetic acid-induced writhing test, the extract significantly reduced the number of writhes at 100 and 200 mg/kg but not so much at 50 mg/kg. In the formalin-induced paw lick test, the effect was similar to that of the acetic writhing test. The analgesic effects were comparable to that of indomethacin used at 10 mg/kg. In the anti-inflammatory test, the extract reduced the formation of oedema especially at a dose of 200 mg/kg. In the anti-oxidant test, the extract was found to possess a free radical-scavenging property and is concentration related.The use of this extract for medicinal and nutritional purposes may have thus been justified; however, caution must be exercised in its use to prevent the toxic effect.

Medicinal activities of Thymus vulgaris L. were studied in the underlying research which was conducted in University of Central Punjab, Lahore. The powdered plant sample was collected and subjected to extraction and filtration by dissolving it in seven different solvents and thus the fractions obtained, were used for further analysis. The qualitative and quantitative analysis was carried out which revealed that this plant contained many biologically active compounds like saponin, alkaloids etc. These compounds have enormous bioactive roles. Antimicrobial activity was also determined in which four bacterial strains were used and the susceptibility of all the fractions of plant extract was determined by their inhibition zones which were calculated in mm. The results showed that water and chloroform extracts of plant has highest activity. The antioxidant activity was also determined by DPPH scavenging assay for which different concentrations of all plant extracts were made and their absorbance was noted to measure the percentage inhibition of each concentration, which revealed that this plant has significant antioxidant activity. The results have been represented using statistical approach that revealed that T. vulgaris plant has significant antibacterial and anti-oxidant activities and phytochemical analysis also proved that it has many useful compounds which have voluminous biological activity and these could be used in the formation of novel drugs.

In the last decades, it has been intensively studied natural alternatives to synthetic products. Chassalia kolly is one of the medicinal plants used traditionally for treatment of skin infections. This study aimed at identifying the diversity secondary metabolites, to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of ethanolic extract of Chassalia kolly leaves. Total phenols were determined by Folin Ciocalteu method. The aluminum trichloride method has been used to quantify total flavonoids, while the determination of condensed tannins was carried out by the hydrochloric vanillin method. The antioxidant capacity was evaluated by 2, 2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2, 2'-Azino-bis- (3-ethylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and phosphomolybdenum methods. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extract of Chassalia kolly leaves was evaluated by method membrane stabilization. In this results, Chassalia kolly leaves contain flavonoid, mucilages, anthocyans, sterols and terpenes, saponosides, alkaloids and reducing compounds. The contents of total phenols, total flavonoids and total tannins are respectively (20.41±2.11) µgGAE/mgDM; (30.29±2.18) µgQE/mgDM and (1.211±0.122)µgCE/mgDM. The results obtained during this work allowed us to assert that all extracts of the studied plant have very good antioxidant properties (IC50=0.05µg/µL). The ethanolic extract of the leaves of Chassalia kolly showed an anti-inflammatory activity more interesting than aspirin which is the reference compound used in this study.

Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. are generally used in Chinese folk medicine for treating fever, cough, mumps, sore throats, and mosquito bite. The current study was therefore carried out to provide vital pharmacological details about the leaf. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of ethanolic extract from Plectranthus amboinicus. The leaves of Plectranthus amboinicus were rinsed, air dried and then powdered using machine. The ethanol extract of the plant was used for phytochemical analysis to identify the constituents present in the plants. HPTLC analysis was carried out to investigate its secondary metabolite profile by using the solvent mixture. The anti-inflammatory effect was analysed by inhibition of protein denaturation assay. The hypotonicity induced haemolysis was observed from 100µg/ml to 500µg/ml of extract concentration. The results proved that the ethanolic leaf extract of P.amboinicus has antiinflammatory activity. The presence of flavonoid, quercetin in plant extract was confirmed by HPTLC analysis and these flavonoids may be responsible for the antiinflammatory activity. Further studies are needed to the development of potential drug that may be used for various pharmacological activities.
