Abstract
Introduction:The anti-inflammatory effect of medicinal plants is aimed to be evaluated as inflammation is the clinical condition associated in many disease states. Medicinal plants are widely distributed all over the different regions of India. Aim:Thus, the present study was aimed to carry out anti-inflammatory activity of bark ethanolic extracts of Guettarda speciosa which is used in ancient traditional medicine. Materials and Methods:The suppression of hypotonicity-induced human red blood cell membrane lysis was got as an estimation of the anti-inflammatory activity. Results: The percentage of membrane stabilization for methanolic extracts and diclofenac sodium was conducted at different concentrations (50–2000 μg/ml). Discussion: Hence, it can be suggested from the present study that possible mechanisms in anti-inflammatory activity were suppressing prostaglandin synthesis. Conclusion:In the future, studies are needed to evaluate in vivo anti-inflammatory activities of G. speciosa.
