ABSTRACT
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of aqueous, methanolic, ethyl acetate and hydroalcoholic extracts of Cassia auriculata leaves. The study was carried out using the pharmacological model of carrageenan induced rat paw edema. Among all extracts methanolic extract showed maximum anti-inflammatory potential. Indomethacin (10mg/kg) was used as referencec ompound in the present study. The anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extract may be due to presence alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and steroids.
