is a perennial herb in the Zingiberaceae family. The plant is native to Bangladesh, and rhizomes are frequently used in traditional medicine to cure gastric ulcers, asthma, wounds, and rheumatic disorders. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyse the antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties of rhizome to confirm its efficacy in traditional applications. After 24 h of treatment, ZrrME (400 mg/kg) showed a considerable drop in rectal temperature (3.42°F) compared to standard paracetamol (5.26°F). At both doses (200 and 400 mg/kg), ZrrME showed a substantial dose-dependent decrease in paw oedema. However, after 2, 3 and 4 h of testing, the extract (200 mg/kg) had a lower anti-inflammatory response than standard indomethacin, whereas the higher dose (400 mg/kg) of rhizome extract had a more robust response compared to standard. ZrrME also showed substantial analgesic activity against all analgesic test models. The findings were further evaluated by study of our previously identified compounds of ZrrME with the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme (3LN1). The substantial binding energy (ranges from-6.2 to-7.7 Kcal/mol) of the polyphenols (excluding catechin hydrate) to the COX-2 enzyme affirm the test results of the present studies. In addition, the compounds were found effective as antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic agents, according to the biological activity prediction software. Both and results demonstrated promising antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving effects of rhizome extract, which corroborate the claim of its traditional uses.
是姜科的一种多年生草本植物。该植物原产于孟加拉国,其根茎常用于传统医学中治疗胃溃疡、哮喘、伤口和风湿性疾病。因此,本研究旨在分析根茎的解热、抗炎和镇痛特性,以证实其在传统应用中的功效。治疗24小时后,与标准对乙酰氨基酚(5.26°F)相比,ZrrME(400mg/kg)使直肠温度显著下降(3.42°F)。在两个剂量(200和400mg/kg)下,ZrrME均显示出爪部水肿明显的剂量依赖性降低。然而,在测试2、3和4小时后,提取物(200mg/kg)的抗炎反应低于标准吲哚美辛,而较高剂量(400mg/kg)的根茎提取物与标准相比有更强的反应。ZrrME对所有镇痛测试模型也显示出显著的镇痛活性。通过对我们之前鉴定的ZrrME化合物与环氧化酶-2酶(3LN1)的研究进一步评估了这些发现。多酚(不包括儿茶素水合物)与COX-2酶的大量结合能(范围为-6.2至-7.7千卡/摩尔)证实了本研究的测试结果。此外,根据生物活性预测软件,这些化合物被发现作为解热、抗炎和镇痛剂是有效的。体外和体内结果均表明根茎提取物具有有前景的解热、抗炎和止痛作用,这证实了其传统用途的说法。
