ABSTRACT

The different experimental models used for the evaluation of anti-inflammatory are Carrageen induced paw edema; Histamine induced paw edema. The methanol extract of the leaf of Abutilon hirtum showed significant decreased inflammation in both the models selected for screening of anti-inflammatory activity. In both the models the p value of the extract II is p< 0.001 and extract I is p
