Abstract

The present study deals with the investigation of phytochemically evaluated ethanolic and aqueous extracts of leaves of Spinacia oleracea for its anti-inflammatory activity. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by carrageenan induced rat paw oedema method for acute inflammation and cotton pellet granuloma method for chronic inflammation. The standard drug used was Indomethacin (20 mg/kg) for both the models. In both methods, ethanolic as well as aqueous extract at a dose level of 1100 mg /kg has shown significant activity which is comparable to that of the standard.
