Analgesic Effects of Erythrina variegata L. Leaves and Soft Stems in Mice

Abstract

Methanolic extract of leaves and soft stems of Erythrina variegata (EVLSS) was investigated for analgesic activity at the doses of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight orally. All the doses of EVLSS significantly attenuated the writhing responses induced by intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid in mice.
