ABSTRACT

The main aim of the study was to carry out anti-inflammatory activity of Thevetia peruviana in acute and sub acute in vitro models. The hydro-alcoholic extract showed the presence of carbohydrate, tannins, flavonoids, terpenes, steroids, glycosides and alkaloids. Against protein denaturation, the model extract showed 85% inhibition at a concentration of 100μg/mL. Similarly the extract showed 70.55% protection of RBC haemolysis as compared with 74.78% produced by indomethacin.
