IN VITRO ANTI-ARTHRITIC ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF CALLICARPA MACROPHYLLA FLOWER
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study is aimed to evaluate the in-vitro anti-arthritic activity of ethanolic extract of Callicarpa macrophylla flower using inhibition of protein denaturation model and human red blood cell Membrane stabilization model. Diclofenac sodium was used as a standard drug. Results revealed that the ethanolic extract of Callicarpa macrophylla at different concentrations possessed significant anti-arthritic activity as compared to standard drug used as Diclofenac sodium. The results obtained in the present investigation Indicate that ethanolic extract of Callicarpa macrophylla flower showed anti-arthritic activity.
