| Popis: |
The methanolic extract of the roots of Asparagus africanus Lam (Liliaceae) which contains mainly saponins and carbohydrate showed significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities (P0.05) in the tail-flick/hot-plate test and egg albumen-induced rat paw oedema tests that were comparable to the test drugs (morphine 20 mg/kg and indomethacin 50 mg/kg respectively). These results indicate that the extract possesses analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. |
