In present study different extracts of Tiliacora acuminata were evaluated for their Anti-inflammatory activity. Hydro-alcoholic, Methanolic, Ethyl acetate and Hexane extracts at 200, 400 and 800mg/kg doses were tested for anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan induced rat paw oedema model and paw thickness was measured every one hour up to 6 hrs. In Carrageenan induced inflammation model, methanolic extract of T. acuminata aerial parts at three different doses produced significant (P<0.001) reduction when compared to hydroalcoholic, hexane and ethyl acetate extracts. The results obtained suggest marked Anti-inflammatory activity of T. acuminata extracts and supports the traditional use of this plant in some pain full and inflammatory conditions.
