Evaluation of anticoagulant activity of aqueous extract of Cestrum nocturnum2017 •
The study evaluated anticoagulant properties of the aqueous extract of Cestrum nocturnum using aPTT-Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time, PT- Prothrombin Time & TT-Thrombin Time as standard procedures.For in vitro coagulation assays, aqueous extract of plant prolonged APTT, TT, and PT clotting times in a dose-dependent manner (Table 7). It prolonged APTT clotting time from 45 ± 2 (2mg/mL) to 82.2 ± 2.63s (10mg/mL), PT clotting time from 20.4 ± 1.49 (2mg/mL) to 31.4 ± 2.15s (10mg/mL), and TT clotting time from 9.2 ± 1.16 (2mg/mL) to 17.4 ± 1.01s (10mg/mL) at the concentration of 2 to 10mg/mL. Heparin prolonged APTT and PT clotting times more than 111.8s and 40.8s, respectively, at a concentration of 1 IU/mL. Heparin prolonged TT clotting times more than 20.6s at a concentration of 1 IU/mL.The phytochemical screening of the plant confirm the presence of saponin in the water and ethanolic extract, Alkaloid in all the extract except hexane extract, tannin in water, ethanol and methanol...

Ceratonia siliqua L. has been used in Moroccan trad i ional medicine as antidiarrheal and diuretic. The infusion of carob leaves is used as an emetic for acute poisoni ng. The present investigation was designed to deter min the antiinflammatory potential of methanolic barks extract of Ceratonia siliqua in rodents using female Swiss mice (20-30 g) and Wistar male rats (150-250 g). The acute toxi city studies were carried out based on OECD 423 gui delines. The LD50 of Ceratonia siliqua was found to be more than 5 g /kg and did not produce mortality or changes in general behavior of the tested animals. Methanolic barks extract of Ceratonia siliqua was investigated for antiinflammatory properties by using carrageenan and ex perimental trauma-induced hind paw oedema in rodent s at the dose of 50, 100, 200 mg/kg p.o. respectively, Indom ethacin at 10 and 20 mg/kg was used as standard. Fr om the results obtained, the methanolic barks extract of C eratonia siliqua showed significant reducti...

Isolation, evaluation and characterization of isolated compounds from aqueous extract of Cestrum nocturnum2017 •
The aim of present study was to isolate, characeterise and evaluation anticoagulant properties of the isolated compound from aqueous extract of Cestrum nocturnum using aPTT-Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time, PT- Prothrombin Time & TT-Thrombin Time as standard procedures.From all the result it can be concluded that water extract of Cestrum nocturnumplant was found to be best among all the extract under study and from the isolates of water extract of Cestrum nocturnum plant AE5 was found to be best activity (anti-platelet, Fibrinolytic and anti-coagulant). Further fractionation of water extract generated two isolates AE5a & AE6a and after their pharmacological activity they were found to be potent phytochemical constituents. From the structural elucidation study of AE5a & AE6a were identified as Rutin and quercetin respectively.From this study it was concluded that the flavoinoidal compound i.e. Rutin and Quercetin were present in the Cestrum nocturnum plant and they both responsi...

Effect of aqueous leaf extract of Macaranga barterion selected haematological and biochemical indices of carrageenan -induced paw edema in Wistar albino rats2022 •
This research was designed to determine the anti-inflammatory and quantitative characterization of phenolic compounds in aqueous leaf extract of Macaranga barteri on carrageenan induced paw edema in wistar rats. Phenolic compound was characterize using GC-MS. Twenty wistar rats of both sexes weighing between 120-140g were grouped into 5 with four (4) rats per group. Group 1 served as the normal control which received distilled water, group 2 (negative control) rats received 1% carrageenan only, groups 3 and 4 were treated with aqueous leaf extract of M. barteri, group 5 was treated with diclofenac, 30 minutes after receiving 1% carrageenan, the changes in paw sizes were observed hourly for 3 hours. Rats were sacrificed and blood samples collected for haematological and biochemical analyses. Phenolic compounds detected were 2-nitro phenol (3.29 ppm) and 4-chloro-3-methyl-phenol (5.09ppm). Significant reduction in rat paws oedema was observed when rats in group 4 were compared with group 2 at 3hours with percentage oedema inhibition of 46.91. Mean ESR of rats in groups 2, 3 and 5 significantly increased and group 4 none significantly reduced when compared to control. Non-significant differences in mean WBC, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, significant reduction of mean eosinophil counts in groups 2 and 3 and non-significant increase in group 4 when compared to control. Significant increase in mean CRP concentration was observed when group 2 was compared to control group and a significant reduction in group 4 treated with 500mg/kgb.wt. When compared to group 2. Mean concentrations of Il-6 and prostaglandin significantly increased in all the groups when compared to control. Aqueous leaf extract of M. barteri demonstrated near average percentage paw oedema inhibition and mild antiinflammatory potential at 500mg/kg b.wt.

The present study was done to determine the antiinflammatory and analgesic activity of methanolic extract of stem bark of Ceiba pentandra by oral administration at doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg/day of body weight to healthy swiss albino mice. The methanolic extract was studied for their anti-inflammatory activity by using carrageenaninduced hind paw edema in mice and the mean increase in paw volume and % inhibition in paw volume were measured plethysmometer at diffentent time intervals after carrageenan (1% w/v) injection. The methanolic extract was also evaluated for analgesic activity using Eddy’s hot plate method in albino mice. The extract of Ceiba pentandra showed significant (P<0.05) reduction in the carrageenaninduced paw edema in mice and analgesic activity evidenced by increase in the reaction time by Eddy’s hot plate method and tail flick method in albino mice. The methanolic extract showed a significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect when compared with the st...
