Keywords

The methanol extract of Dicliptera verticillata stems with leaves was investigated for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities in animal models. The extract was found to reduce significantly (p<0.001) the formation of oedema induced by carrageenan after 3 h. In the acetic acid induced writhing model, the extract has shown a good analgesic effect characterised by a significant reduction (p<0.001) in the number of writhes with all the doses used when compared to the control untreated group. In the antipyretic assay, the extract was efficient on yeast-induced hyperpyrexia in mice, mainly 2 h after drugs administration. The results give a scientific basis to the traditional uses of Dicliptera verticillata, mainly those involving pain, fever and inflammation.
