Screening of Anti Inflammatory Potential of Chosen Medicinal Plants Using Swiss Albino Mice

Anti inflammatory efficiency of chosen two plants Cassia occintalis and Lannea coromandelica were studied by delayed type hyper sensitivity method using mice. The inbred Swiss mice were divided into four groups, each groups have six animals. One group (Group - I) served as control and other groups (Group II - IV) were received antigen along with cyclophosphamide (Standard immunosuppresive drug) and two plant extracts respectively. After treatment, the antigens were injected in the foot pad at 10% doses. The foot pad thicknesses were observed and this thickness is much reduced when the antigen was administered with cyclophosphamide (11.44 to 9.07 %). The plant extracts of Lannea and Cassia along with antigen showed no thickness or edema, only redness was observed. The present study was confirmed chosen plants have anti-inflammatory potential
