Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic and antinociceptive activities of methanol extract of Tamarix Aphylla (TAME) in experimental animal models. Methods: The TAME was evaluated via carrageenan induced edema and xylene induced ear edema models for anti-inflammatory, brewer yeast induced pyrexia model for anti-pyretic activity, hot plate and acetic acid induced writhing models for anti-nociceptive properties. Results: The outcomes indicated that TAME in inflammatory models at a dose level of 100 and 200 mg/ kg exhibited statistically significant anti-inflammatory activity 51.84 %/ 68.59 % and 36.00 % / 61.17 % respectively. Similarly, TAME exhibited the maximum antipyretic effect at a dose level of 100 and 200 mg/ kg, which was 2.08 % and 2.72 % respectively. Moreover, the TAME demonstrated maximum percent inhibitory activity with a dose of 400 mg/kg in writhing and hot plate tests which was 50.40 % and 46.56 % respectively. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study provides a pharmacological basis for the ethnopharmacological use of Tamarix aphylla as anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic and analgesic herbal remedy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
