The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of Atalantia Monophylla bark extract was evaluated with various in-vitro and in-vivo assay. The anti-oxidant potential of the bark extract were evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power assay. Two experimental models of nociception employed were: acetic acid-induced abdominal constriction and formalin-induced pain and carrageenan induced oedema in rats used as inflammatory model. Results showed that bark extract of atalantia monophylla significant antioxidant activity. The results obtained in the current study indicate that the Atalantia Monophylla has potential analgesics and anti-inflammatory activity compared with diclofenac and morphine as standard.
