Abstract
An in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of three different medicinal plants growing around Chevuturuvillage, Mylavaram, Andhra Pradesh was tested in the current study. Each plant extract was subjected to phytochemical analysis. Two methods were used to assess anti-inflammatory activity: Carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema, Dextran-induced rat paw oedema, and cotton pellet-induced granuloma are the three conditions studied. T cordifolia has the potential to be used as an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medication in the future, according to this study. The presence of several phytoconstituents in extracts of Trichodesma zeylanicum, Sansevieria zeylanica, and Capparis zeylanica may be responsible for this activity. Anti-inflammatory activity was comparable to that of standard medications, according to the statistical analysis. The findings suggest that Capparis zeylanica root bark has anti-inflammatory effects.
