Abstract :
The present study was undertaken to assess the anti-inflammatory potential of the ethyl acetate active fractions of Butea monosperma leaves against Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) induced inflammation in wistar rats. Three different ethyl acetate active fractions of Butea monosperma leave (50, 100 & 250 mg/kg) showed a significant dose-dependent protective effect against CFA-induced inflammation. At the dose of 250 mg/kg, the percentage inhibition of inflammation was 30.45, 35.54, 39.88 and 44.1 on day 4th, 8th, 14th and 21st day respectively and oral administration of E.A active fraction of Butea monosperma leaves for 21 days significantly increased(P
