ABSTRACT
The HAEPC (Hydroalcoholic extract of Plumbago capensis) showed a maximum of 46.88% inhibitory action on Carrageenan induced paw edema at the dose of 250 mg/kg and inhibited the leukocyte migration in a dose dependent manner. The anti-inflammatory activity observed was comparable to the standard non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin (10mg/kg). Plumbago capensis, a lesser known Plumbago species has significant anti-inflammatory activity with potential constituents targeting different components of inflammatory process.
