Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
The study was intended to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the whole plant of Polygala javana. The anti-inflammatory activity study was carried out by using Carrageenan induced paw edema. The ethanol extract of whole plant of Polygala javana was injected at different doses such as 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight and the study was compared with standard drug Indomethacin (10mg/kg). The extract exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity, which supports the traditional medicinal utilization of the plant.
