IN VITRO ANTIINFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF JUGLANS REGIA BARK
Abstract
To evaluate the anti-inflammatory property of the different extract of bark of Juglans regia, family Juglandaceae is a deciduous tree. Its fruits are consumed as food, which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Walnut leaf has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of skin inflammations and ulcers and for its antidiarrheic, antihelmintic, antiseptic and astringent properties. The present study aimed at the evaluation of anti-inflammatory property of the aqueous, chloroform and alcoholic extracts of the bark by in vitro methods. In vitro method was estimated by human red blood cell membrane stabilization (HRBC) method. Results showed significant anti-inflammatory property of the different extracts tested. The aqueous extract at a concentration of 200 mg/ml. showed potent activity on comparing with the standard drug diclofenac sodium.
