subjectAbstract

The various extracts of Abutilon indicum (AI) were investigated for its anti-arthritic activity in In-vitro studies in male albino rats. The evaluation of anti-arthritic activity was carried out using Freund's adjuvant induced arthritis model. Methotrexate (0.75 mg/kg bw) was used as standard drug. The methanolic extract of Abutilon indicum exhibited significant anti-arthritic activity. Treatment with Abutilon indicum 400 mg/kg showed significant reduction (P<0.01) in paw volume on both 7th and 14th day. Reference standard Methotrexate also showed similar result in this regard. Abutilon indicum 100 and 200 mg/kg were found to be insignificant in reducing paw volume.
