Abstract
Millingtonia hortensis Linn.F (Bignoniaceae) is found throughout south Asia for its fragrant flowers. The present study aims at exploring the antiinflammatory potential of the stem bark of the tree. Aqueous extract of Millingtonia hortensis Linn.F (Bignoniaceae) stem bark was evaluated for its antiinflammatory property by carrageenan induced paw edema. The potency of the extract was evaluated at about two doses of 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg and compared with the standard drug indomethacin 10mg/kg.
