Plants are used as a major source for medicine as they found to possess a reservoir of
chemical agents and biological active compounds. Extracts of Prosopisjuliflora seeds and
leaves have several in vitro pharmacological effects such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiinflammatory
properties.Aplant which is rich in Alkaloid, Flavonoids, Tannins,
Anthraquinones and Quinon are responsible for inhibition of H+. In the current work the plant
Prosopisjuliflora components have been explored as a potentially effective and safer antiinflammatory
compound. Twenty four Wistar rats were randomly allotted to four groups (6
animals per group) Group 1 was treated with water for Injection (10 ml/kg b. w). Group 2
was treated with single oral dose of Ibuprofen (100 mg/kg b. w dissolved in water for
Injection). Groups 3 and 4 were treated with ethanol extract of Prosopisjuliflora(250 and 500
mg/kg b. w. respectively). The standard drug Ibuprofen at 100 mg/kg and Ethanol extract of
Prosopisjulifloraat 250 and 500 mg/kg significantly reduced the paw volume and edema
volume at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after inflammatory induction
