  • Abstract:
  • The ethanolic extract of Coccinia grandis Linn. (Family: Cucurbitaceae) underwent phytochemical screening, which revealed the presence of alkaloids, reducing sugars, and saponins. The pharmacological interest in these compounds, along with the traditional medicinal use of this plant, motivated further investigation into its potential antimicrobial, antidiarrhoeal, and analgesic activities. The ethanolic extract of Coccinia grandis Linn. was tested for its pharmacological properties. At a dose of 500 mg/kg, the extract exhibited significant analgesic activity, providing 60% protection against pain (p<0.001), compared to 76% protection by the standard drug diclofenac at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight. However, the extract showed no antidiarrhoeal activity at the same dose. These results support the traditional medicinal use of Coccinia grandis and indicate its potential for further investigation.
