Abstract
Background: Atalantia monophylla DC. family Rutaceae, a promising drug, has multifaceted ethnomedicinal claims to treat rheumatism, arthritis, paralysis, cough, skin diseases, etc., In traditional practice, root and stem are administered to treat rheumatism and arthritis, respectively.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the root and stem of A. monophylla against carrageenan-induced acute paw edema in wistar albino rats.
Materials and methods: Shade dried root and stem were grinded separately into a fine powder (120#) by the mechanical grinder. Test drugs were prepared in Phanta (hot infusion) form and used as fresh (A. monophylla root Phanta [AMRP] and A. monophylla stem Phanta [AMSP]). Difference between the groups was statistically determined by one-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett's multiple "t" test for unpaired data.
Results: AMSP showed a significant decrease in paw inflammation at all-time interval (P < 0.05), whereas AMRP produced nonsignificant decrease in paw inflammation at 1 h (43.53%) and 5 h (25.74%) while significant (P < 0.05) anti-inflammatory activity at 3 h (36.35%) in comparison with the normal control group.
Conclusion: The present study concluded that A. monophylla stem is having significant anti-inflammatory activity in comparison to its root when administered in Phanta form against carrageenan-induced acute inflammation in rats.
