Abstract

Background: Asystasia gangetica (Linn) T. Anderson [family Acanthaceae] is used commonly in the sub-tropics and tropics for the management of inflammatory and algesic conditions.

Objective: The study was done to evaluate the analgesic and inflammatory activity of the aqueous stem and leaf extract of Asystasia gangetica.

Methods: The analgesic effect of the aqueous stem and leaf extract of Asystasia gangetica (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) was evaluated in rats and mice using the acetic acid induced writhing, cold water tail flick and hot plate models. Its anti-inflammatory effect was evaluated using carrageenan induced rat paw oedema and xylene induced mouse ear oedema models.

Results: The aqueous stem and leaf extract of Asystasia gangetica (25-200 mg/kg) significantly (p <0>

Conclusion: The results show that the aqueous stem and leaf extract of Asystasia gangetica possesses analgesic and antiinflammatory activities.
