Investigation of Anti-inflammatory, Antipyretic and Analgesic Activities of in Albino Rats through and Pharmacoinformatics Studies.

INTRODUCTION

Hyperpyrexia, algesia and inflammation are pathological disorders which are treated with synthetic as well as herbal medications.

AIMS

The basic aim of the present study is to evaluate the ethnopharmacological activities of phytoconstituents that are present in (fruit extract) by using and in silico studies.

METHODS

Thirty-six albino rats were used in our studies with an average weight between 150-170 g. Anti-inflammatory activity was investigated using carrageenan (an extract from a red seaweed) that induced edema in albino rat paws. However, in antipyretic and analgesic activity studies, yeast and acetic acid were used to cause pyrexia or algesia, respectively. Different doses of acetone fruit extract were used to treat inflammation, pyrexia and algesia.

RESULTS

Our results showed that the maximum percentage inhibition of acetonic fruit extract in anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities was observed at 70% and 100%, respectively, with 400 mg/kg doses, and in pyretic activity the maximum inhibitory percentage was 86% with a 100 mg/kg dose. In analysis, we have shown that bioactive compounds (α-spinasterol, ascorbic acid and chlorogenic acid) found in fruit extract have outstanding inhibition properties that involves proteins PTGS2, TLR2 and TRPV4. fruit extract shows results that are statistically significant (p < 0.005) and comparable to a reference drug. Acetonic fruit extract of can be used as a natural and safe remedy with no side effects.

CONCLUSION

Both and studies on chlorogenic acid, ascorbic acid and α-spinasterol have shown that these are inhibitory compounds that can be used for boosting the immune response.
