The ethanol extract of Dalbergia lanceolaria Linn. bark was subjected to pharmacological screening using various animal models. The extract showed analgesic activity when tested in acetic acid-induced writhing, tail-flick response, and formalin-induced licking tests in Swiss albino mice. The plant extract, at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg=kg body weight, showed significant central as well as peripheral analgesic activity by oral route. Therefore, the current study indicates that the ethanol extract of Dalbergia lanceolaria bark has significant central and peripheral analgesic activity.
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.
