Investigation of in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity of oxalis latifolia kunth whole plant

Abstract

The primary purpose of the current study was to assess the invitro anti-inflammatory effects of methanolic extract of Oxalis latifolia Kunth (MEOL) using bovine serum and egg albumin protein denaturation method. In this method, anti-inflammatory was evaluated for the methanolic extract of Oxalis latifolia kunth (MEOL) whole plant and standard (Diclofenac sodium) at varying concentrations (100 - 500?g/ml). The bovine serum & egg albumin protein denaturation technique assessed MEOL for its anti-inflammatory activity. In both methods, it was found that an increase in the concentration of MEOL showed growth in the percentage of inhibition. The MEOL activity was compared to standards such as Diclofenac sodium. In this, it was evident that an increase in the concentration MEOL increased's anti-inflammatory activity of MEOL through inhibition of bovine serum & egg albumin protein denaturation. From the results, it was concluded that MEOL whole plant proved to have anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting bovine serum & egg albumin protein denaturation.
