  • Abstract

    Analgesic, Antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect of petroleum ether, benzene chloroform, ethanol and aqueous extract of the whole parts of Desmostachya bipinnata Stapf (Poaceae) was investigated in albino rats. Animals were given a subcutaneous injection of 12% w/v suspension of yeast (1ml /100gm Body weight) suspended in 0.5% w/v methylcellulose solution which leads to pyrexia. Oral administration of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethanol and aqueous extract of the whole parts of Desmostachya bipinnata Stapf (Poaceae) at a dose 300 mg/ kg body weight into six groups of animal for both the activities were shown significantly reduce the elevated body temperature of rat which was compared with standard paracetamol (marketed product) and diclofenac sodium respectively. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by using Digital plethysmometer. The study was carried out using dose of 300 mg/kg orally. All the extracts produced statistically significant and dose dependent inhibition of edema induced by carrageenan at all doses when compared to the control groups.
