ABSTRACT

The  present  study  aimed  to  evaluate  the  anti-inflammatory  activity  of  alcoholic and aqueous extracts   of  Pimenta  dioica  leaves  by  simple, reliable, less toxic, less time consuming,  HRBC  membrane  stabilization  method. The  inhibition of  hypotonicity  induced  by  HRBC  membrane   lysis  was  taken  as  a  measure  of  anti-inflammatory   activity.

 

Key words: Pimenta  dioica L, Myrtaceae, Anti-inflammatory, HRBC membrane stabilization.
