Abstract :

Context: Ziziphus xylopyrus, locally known as �sider�or �ber� has been used in various condition but scientific evidence are not available. Aims: to study anti-inflammatory activity of Zyziphus xylopyrus by using Carrageenan induced Paw Edema model (acute inflammation) in albino rats. Settings and Design: This was a longitudinal study done on 30 no. Wistar rats done in post graduate Department of Pharmacology, VIMSAR, Burla Methods and Material: the study was done Carrageenan induced paw edema Statistical analysis used: One way ANOVA followed by Dunnett�s test. Results: On comparison with basal values, EEZX 200 and 400 mg/kg showed significant reduction in paw edema. Conclusions: These results suggest that EEZX at 200 & 400 mg/kg doses possesses significant anti-inflammatory activities, however more studies are recommended.
