Manivannan Ekambaram*, Vijayarangan Sivasamy, Kothai Ramalingam, Arul Balasubramanian
Abstract The ethanolic extract of Portulaca quadrifida was studied in Swiss albino mice against 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbhol-13-acetate (TPA) and arachidonic acid (AA) induced anti- inflammatory response. While the analgestic effects were studied using the acetic acid induced writhing the mice and formalin induced nociception. The ethanolic extract produced dose dependent anti-inflammatory activity against the pathogens. It also showed an inhibitory effect on pain caused by acetic acid in mice and reduced pain episodes induced by formalin. The result indicated that the ethanolic extract produced significant (p Keywords: Portulaca quadrifida; ethanolic extract; antiinflammatory; anti-nociceptive.
