Abstract
The anti-inflammatory effect of the aqueous (AEAP) and ethanolic (EEAP) extracts of Acampe praemorsa were evaluated using the carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema model. AEAP exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effect at a dose of 300 mg/kg. Maximum inhibition of 48.1 % for AEAP and 11.4 % for EEAP was observed after 3 h of drug treatment, whilst the standard drugdiclofenac, produced 63.0 % of inhibition. The present study reveals that the aqueous extract of A. praemorsa is endowed with significant anti-inflammatory activity.
