ABSTRACT:
Sinc? antiquity, Alstonia scholaris commonly known as d?vil’s tr?? or blackboard tr?? has b??n us?d for th? tr?atm?nt of many human ailm?nts. Th? plant is us?d in Ayurv?dic, Unani and Sidhha/Tamil typ?s of alt?rnativ? m?dicinal syst?ms. Lit?ratur? sugg?sts that Alstonia scholaris is us?ful in tr?ating malaria, abdominal disord?rs, dysp?psia, l?prosy, skin dis?as?s, tumors, chronic and foul ulc?rs, asthma, bronchitis ?tc. In ord?r to validat? th?s? ?thno-botanical practic?s th? anti-inflammatory activity of m?thanolic ?xtracts and various bioactiv? guid?d fractions of l?af of Saptparn (Alstonia scholaris, Apocyanac?a?) t?st?d. Th? anti-inflammatory activity of th? ?xtracts and its various fractions w?r? ?valuat?d using th? carrag??nan-induc?d rat paw ?d?ma m?thod for th? d?t?rmination of acut? phas? of inflammation. Indom?thacin us?d as r?f?r?nc? drug. Th? r?sult of pharmacological studi?s (anti-inflammatory) indicat?d th? m?thanolic ?xtract (200 mg/kg) significantly inhibit?d carrag??nan induc?d rat paw ?d?ma in comparison to th? inhibition of ?d?ma by standard drug Indom?thacin (10mg/kg). Maximum inhibition of rat paw ?d?ma was obs?rv?d with m?thanolic ?xtract of plant (400 mg/kg) at th? ?nd of 4th hour wh?n compar?d to control group. Th? chloroform fraction (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) poss?ss statistically significant anti-inflammatory activity. Maximum inhibition of rat paw ?d?ma was obs?rv?d with chloroform fraction at 100 mg/kg at th? ?nd of 5th hour wh?n compar?d to control group.
