Hymenocallis littoralis (Jacq.) Salisb. (Amaryllidaceae) commonly known as Beach spider lily, is an ornamental and medicinal plant, traditionally used for wound healing. It is used as an emetic and has shown anti-neoplastic, cytotoxic and anti-viral properties. The plant is folk remedy to treat freckles and blemishes. The aim of this research was to explore the anti-arthritic potential of this selected plant material. Two successive and two crude extract of its flowers were subjected for in-vitro anti-arthritic activity using inhibition of protein denaturation method. The successive ethanol extract have shown potent anti-arthritic activity by inhibition of protein denaturation method with 0.021±0.00115 and 0.016±0.00115 (mean±S.E.M) for 100 and 250 µg/ml, respectively. The crude ethanol has shown significant anti-arthritic activity by bovine serum denaturation method. All the concentrations prepared were paving dose dependent anti-arthritic activity....
Strychnos colubrina L. (Loganiaceae) is being used in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments. The aim of this research was to explore the anti-arthritic potential of this selected plant material. Two successive and two crude extract of its bark were subjected for in-vitro anti-arthritic activity using inhibition of protein denaturation method. The successive methanol extract have shown potent anti-arthritic activity by inhibition of protein denaturation method with 0.024±0.00145 and 0.0190±0.00115 (mean±S.E.M) for 100 and 250 µg/ml, respectively. The crude methanol has shown significant anti-arthritic activity by bovine serum denaturation method. All the concentrations prepared were paving dose dependent anti-arthritic activity....
