Journal Title: International Journal of Pharma Research and Health Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to carry out the invitro antiarthritic activity of the alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the fruits of Grewia subinaequalis and to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic extract of the fruit. The antiarthritic activity was carried out using protein denaturation method. The fruit extract of the plant produced remarkable antiarthritic activity and the activity produced was comparable to activity produced by acetyl salicylic acid which was used as the reference standard during the evaluation. The anti bacterial activity of the ethanolic extract was evaluated by agar well diffusion method and the result indicates the potent antimicrobial action of the fruit.
