ABSTRACT:
Objective: The present study is designed to investigate anti-inflammatory activities of ethanolic extract of male flowers (inflorescences) of Borassus flabellifer L. (Arecaceae). Methods: Acute inflammation models like histamine-induced and egg-albumin-induced rat paw edema model and xylene induced ear oedema in mice were employed to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity. The biochemical parameters like serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), lipid per oxidation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were also estimated as supportive study. Results: The extract at doses 150mg/kg b.w. and 300mg/kg b.w. and diclofenac sodium (standard) showed significant anti-inflammatory in all the models, as compared to control (p< 0.0001). The extract and standard drug also showed significant (p<0.0001) results for biochemical parameters. Conclusion: The results of the present further confirm the use of Borassus flabellifer L. traditionally for the treatment of painful inflammatory conditions.
