Abstract
To test the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of different fractions of dried Tecoma stans leaves using various pain and inflammation models. The analgesic activity of T. stans was tested in mice with acetic acid-induced writhing and rats with the tail flick test. Cotton pellet-granuloma formation in rats was used to test the anti-inflammatory activity. T. stans was examined in five distinct fractions (FRI, FRII, FRIII, FRIV, and FRV) at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg, p.o.When compared to the other fractions, the fractions FRI (40 mg/kg, p.o.) and FRIII (40 mg/kg, p.o.) were shown to be more efficacious (P0.01) in reducing cotton pellet granuloma development and acetic acid induced writhing. In the tail flick method, FRI (20 mg/kg, p.o.) and FRIII (20 mg/kg, p.o.) were likewise found to be more effective in increasing latency time. FRI and FRIII, two of the five fractions of T. stans leaves examined, have significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties against several types of inflammation and pain.
