ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF ACHYRANTHES ASPERA LINN. : AN EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION

  • Unique Paper ID: 182658
  • PageNo: 2737-2742
  • Abstract:
  • In this study, Achyranthus aspera was screened for various phytochemicals and proved to cherish with various phytochemicals such as alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, steroids and carbohydrates. Various fractionation of the plants is studied for detailed phytochemical profiling and reported to possess a good amount of phenolic content, flavonoid content and total alkaloidal content. The antioxidant activity of Hydro alcoholic extract of A. aspera was screened in various in-vitro methods such as DPPH assay, reducing power assay, and total antioxidant assay. The results suggest that the polyphenolic contents present in the whole plant of A. aspera are responsible for the reported antioxidant activity. Further, Hydro alcoholic extract of Achyranthes aspera exhibited promising anti-inflammatory activity, which is attributed to phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids and saponin phytoconstituents found in extracts. This abundantly available plant may serve as an important addition in therapeuti armamentarium of chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.
