Abstract

Preparation of medicinal plant for experimental purpose is an initial step and key in achieving quality research outcome. The solvent is the key to a successful separation by liquid-liquid extraction. The plant Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Linn is commonly used as traditional medicine to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis and inflammation. The iridoid glycoside is the active constituent which is responsible to show anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory activity. The current review article helps to select the solvent which gives extract contain more iridoid glycoside by comparative analysis of NAT extract in different solvent for experimentation of anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory activity.

Keywords: Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Linn; iridoid glycoside, Solvent, Rheumatoid arthritis.
