Analgesic and antipyretic effects of <i>Sansevieria trifasciata</i> leaves

Abstract

The ethanol and water extracts of Sansevieria trifasciata leaves showed dose-dependent and significant (P < 0.05) increase in pain threshold in tail-immersion test. Moreover, both the extracts (100 -200 mg/kg) exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of writhing and also showed a significant (P < 0.001) inhibition of both phases of the formalin pain test. The ethanol extract (200 mg/kg) significantly (P < 0.01) reversed yeast-induced fever. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the extracts showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, terpenoids, tannins, proteins and carbohydrates.

Evaluation of antiallergic and anti-anaphylactic activity of ethanolic extract of Sanseveiria trifasciata leaves (EEST) in rodents

“…(Seth, 2005). Furthermore, ethanolic extract of S. trifasciata leaves (200 mg/kg, s.c) elicited analgesic-anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity in mice (Sunilson et al, 2009 of Sansevieria species include treatment for abdominal pains, diarrhea and hemorrhoids.…”

Effect of mother-in-law’s tongue leaves (Sansevieria trifasciata) extract’s solvent polarity on anti-diabetic activity through in vitro α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition test

“…The decoction of the mother-inlaw's tongue leaves is commonly used by people from Sabah, Malaysia for the treatment of DM disease [2] . The medical efficacy of the leaves of the mother-in-law's tongue is related, among others, to the treatment of DM, earache, pharyngitis, skin itching, and urinary diseases as an analgesic and antipyretic [3][4][5] [6] .…”

“…The hypoglycemic effect of the plant bioactive component can restore pancreatic β cell function, thereby increasing insulin secretion, inhibiting glucose absorption in the intestine and inhibiting the action of the αglucosidase enzyme. The leaves of the mother-in-law's tongue extracted with ethanol or aquadest solvent contain various phytochemical compounds commonly grouped in the form of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, terpenoids, tannins, proteins, and carbohydrates [6] . Several studies that have proven the biological effects of the ethanol extract of the leaves of the mother-in-law's tongue are the analgesic and antipyretic effects [6] , antibacterial [7] and antioxidants [8] .…”

Therapeutic Effects of Sansevieria Trifasciata Ointment in Callosities of Toes

“…Also Sansevieria trifasciata is commonly known as snake plant or mother in-law's tongue, an evergreen herbaceous perennial plant found throughout Malaysia (Sunilson et al, 2009) and has been traditionally used by Orang Asli in Perak, Malaysia for the treatment of ear pain, swellings, boils and fever. In summary to the best of our knowledge we could not find such this research for curing corn by using Sansevieria therefore, according to the characteristics of this plant, the main purpose of the present study was to evaluate the survey of therapeutic effect of Sansevieria Trifasciata in terms of ointment on corn and comparing it with the conventional chemical treatments.…”
