Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic and Antipyretic Activities of Dicliptera verticillata

Wamtinga Richard Sawadogo, Rainatou Boly, Marius Lompo, Noya Some, Charles Euloge Lamien, Innocent Pierre Guissou and Odile Germaine Nacoulma
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.
