Indigofera tinctoria L has long been traditionally employed for various diseases, including pain and inflammation. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the potential anti activity of Indigofera tinctoria L. The antiarthritic activity for petroleum ether and ethanol extracts (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg) of Indigofera tinctoria Freunds Complete Adjuvant (FCA) at the tibiotorsal joint. permeability, histamine, hematological parameters, ESR, evaluation of development of arthritis, biochemical parameters, and Interleukin (IL) Spleen cells (MTT assay), Radiographic analysis and histopathological assessments were carried out. The petroleum ether and ethanol extracts of anti-arthritic activity, by significant changes in the behavior permeability, histamine level, IL and TNF, proliferation of spleenocytes dose Similarly the significant increased SOD, GSH and reduced level of lipid peroxidation and decreased ESR, WBC's and lymphocytes were ob resorption were also reduced. The infiltration of leucocytes and loss of articular cartilage was significantly reduced in groups treated with the extracts. extracts of Indigofera tinctoria L showed the potent anti arthritis in rats.
