To investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of ethanol extract of Passiflora foetida (P. foetida) leaves.
Ethanol extract of P. foetida leaf was evaluated for analgesic action by acetic acid-induced writhing and hot plate method in albino mice. The anti-inflammatory property of ethanolic leaf extract was tested by carrageenan induced acute paw edema and histamine induced acute paw edema in rats.
The dose 200 mg/kg of P. foetida leaf extract exhibited highest significant analgesic activity [(13.50±0.43) min] at a reaction time of 20 min in hot plate method in mice. The ethanol extract of leaf dose 100 mg/kg produced a highly significant anti inflammatory effect [(1.302±0.079) mL] in rats.
It is very clear that P. foetida also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities for the pharmaceuticals.
研究西番莲叶乙醇提取物的镇痛和抗炎活性。
采用醋酸诱导扭体和热板法,在白化小鼠中评价西番莲叶乙醇提取物的镇痛作用。采用角叉菜胶诱导的急性爪肿胀和组胺诱导的急性爪肿胀试验,检测叶乙醇提取物的抗炎特性。
西番莲叶提取物 200mg/kg 剂量在 20 分钟反应时间时在热板法中表现出最高的显著镇痛活性[(13.50±0.43)min]。叶乙醇提取物 100mg/kg 剂量在大鼠中产生了高度显著的抗炎作用[(1.302±0.079)mL]。
很明显,西番莲也具有镇痛和抗炎活性,可用于制药。
