Abstract
The antiinflammatory effect of the methanol extract of the leaves of Cassia tora was investigated against carrageenin, histamine, serotonin and dextran-induced rat hind paw oedema. It exhibited significant antiinflammatory activity against all these agents. The extract (400 mg/kg) showed maximum inhibition of oedema of 40.33%, 31.37%, 53.57% and 29.15% at the end of 3 h with carrageenin, dextran, histamine and serotonin-induced rat paw oedema, respectively. Using a chronic test, the granuloma pouch in rats, the extract exhibited a 48.13% reduction in granuloma weight.
