ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF WRIGHTIA TINCTORIA LEAVES BY MEMBRANE STABILIZATION

Ethyl alcohol and aqueous extract of Wrightia tinctoria were investigated for anti-inflammatory activity by HRBC method. The preventation of hypo tonicity induced HRBC membrane lysis was taken a measure of antiinflammatory activity and these extracts shows biphasic effects. Their activities are compared with standard drug diclofinac sodium.
