        abstract = {Object: To perform the Phytochemical Screening & Anti-inflammatory activity of Ficus Lacor roots in Albino Wistar rats. 
Methods: The different Pharmacognostical parameters were evaluated as per standard procedure. The crude drug was evaluated for organoleptic properties shape, size, colour, odour, taste. Preliminary Phytochemical Screening was carried out & finally Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by adopting different methods. Results: The extracts showed a marked Anti-inflammatory effect. The fraction from Ficus lacor aerial roots showed maximum inhibition (80%) of Carrageenan induced edema. The inhibition of inflammation was comparable for all the fractions for any change in extent & percentage of inhibition at 30 min, 1hr, 2hr and 3hr. The anti-inflammatory effect induced via indomethacin gradually increased and reached at higher level (80.8%) after 3 hrs. 
Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that the extract of Ficus lacor possesses strong Anti-inflammatory activity. This study also describes therapeutic effect of Ficus lacor aerial roots in inflammation and arthritis which will give a new direction for the future scientific research.},
