Assessment of antiarthritic activity of ethanolic extract of Moringa concanensis Nimmo leaves by using FCA induced arthritic animal model

Abstract

The present research work was dealing with the evaluation of the antiarthritic potential of M.concanensis leaves by using FCA induced arthritic animal model. The arthritis was induced by complete freund’s adjuvant method ad treated with ethanolic extract of M.concanensis leaves (EEMC). The body weight, paw volume, hematological parameters, liver function marker enzymes and the renal function markers of the arthritic rats and EEMC rats was analyzed by the standard methods. The new findings from the present study the ethanolic extract of M.concanensis leaves was showed a potent antiarthritic activity against FCA induced rheumatoid arthritis in experimental rats. Based on the above findings, it was concluded as this research work may gives a clear understand on the antiarthritic activity of ethanolic extract of the leaves of Moringa concanensis Nimmo. This result may used in the further research and new findings in this plant.
