Abstract
Propose We aimed to examine and evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic property of the seeds of the traditionallyused medicinal plant of Bangladesh, Costus speciosus. Materials and Methods: Our investigation includes the evaluation of the phytochemical composition and both in vitro and in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory action of the methanolic extracts of Costus speciosus seeds (MECS). We have modified a little to examine the effect, including formalin induced paw edema and tail immersion process. Results: At the dosage of 500 mg/kg, the extract showed the maximum inhibitory effect on the paw,1 hour after the carrageenan administration, with inhibition of over 50%. The best inhibition (52.27±0.017%; p<0.0001) elicited by the extract was three hours after formalin injection. With the help of hotplate procedure evaluation, C. speciosus increased pain tolerance time up to 17.83±0.085 min, area the compared accredited diffuse acknowledgment time to 21.68±0.427 min. In appendage captivation acclimation the acknowledgment time used to be continued at 600 mg/kg by way of C. speciosus 4.49 ± 0.214 (p<0.0001) afterwards 2 hours of extract initiation. Conclusion: This experiment displays that the plant part is capable of inhibiting mediators, responsible for pain and inflammation and hence, the extract may be developed as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent by screening the molecule of interest, from the extract. © 2016, International Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemical Research.
