PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTY OF ONE RECIPE FROM MOROCCAN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE
ABSTRACT
The present study aims to investigate the inflammatory property of the recipe consisting of five plants from South of Morocco (Rissani -ER-rachidia region). Extract of plants is obtained by aqueous cold maceration and administered to Wistar rats orally. The extract has a significant anti-inflammatory effect compared to the positive control (indomethacin), 5 h after induction of inflammation by carrageenan at 0.5%. The aqueous extract is then formulated into syrup; its anti-inflammatory potency was also evaluated orally in Wistar rats. This syrup is a natural non-steroidal anti-inflammatory elaborated from plants used in Folk Moroccan Medicine and more powerful than indomethacin. In this context, this natural anti-inflammatory will help to improve the quality of life and well-being in the case of inflammation.
Key words: Natural Anti-inflammatory, Flavonoids, Phytochemical Screening, Traditional Medicine.
