In Vitro Evaluation of Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Woodfordi Fruticosa Leaves

Abstract

Medicinal plants contain numerous biologically active compounds which are helpful in improving the life and treatment of diseases and these are the primary source of synthetic and traditional herbal medicine.Inflammation is a body response to injury, infection or destruction characterized by heat, redness, pain, swelling and disturbed physiological function. It is triggered by the release of chemical mediators from injured tissue migrating cells.The present study was carried out by egg protein denaturation method for in-vitro assessment of anti-inflammatory activity of leaves of woodfordia fruticosa. Denaturation of tissue proteins is one of the main reasons for inflammatory diseases.  Hence the In vitro study of different extract of woodfordia fruticosa leaves showed the presence of significant anti-inflammatory activity.
