Kigelia pinnata DC is extensively used in Indian traditional medicine for several diseases including inflammatory and painful disorders.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of methanolic extract of Kigelia pinnata flower (MKFL) to support the medicinal uses claimed by folklore practitioners.
MKFL is evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats and analgesic activity in acetic acid-induced writhing, hot plate and formalin-induced paw licking models in mice.
MKFL exhibited a significant (P<0.01) anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities with the doses of 100, 200 and 400mg/kg b.w. in rats and mice respectively.
The results of the experimental study thus strongly support the traditional use of this plant for inflammatory and pain disorders.
吊灯树 DC 在印度传统医学中被广泛用于多种疾病,包括炎症和疼痛疾病。
本研究旨在研究吊灯树花(MKFL)甲醇提取物的可能抗炎和镇痛活性,以支持民间医生所声称的药用用途。
MKFL 在角叉菜胶诱导的大鼠足肿胀模型中评估其抗炎活性,在醋酸诱导的小鼠扭体、热板和福尔马林诱导的舔足模型中评估其镇痛活性。
MKFL 分别以 100、200 和 400mg/kg b.w. 的剂量在大鼠和小鼠中表现出显著的(P<0.01)抗炎和镇痛活性。
实验研究的结果强烈支持该植物用于炎症和疼痛疾病的传统用途。
