Abstract
ABSTRACT The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of Grewia asiatica leaf solvent extracts were evaluated in animal models. The methanol and ethyl acetate fractions prepared from the leaves showed potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects at 400 mg kg−1 and 100 mg kg−1, respectively. Myricetin was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction by column chromatography. Molecular docking studies with myricetin showed a desirable binding pattern of myricetin with both COX-1 and COX-2, supporting its anti-inflammatory potential. Results showed that the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of methanol extract of G. asiatica leaves may be due to COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition by myricetin.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
