Étude des activités anti-inflammatoire, analgésique et antipyrétique des décoctés aqueux des feuilles et des racines de Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. (Fabaceae) (original) (raw)

Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. (Fabaceae) is a medicinal plant used in the treatment of several diseases including inflammatory diseases. The aim of this work was to carry out the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities of aqueous decoction of the leaves and roots barks of Pterocarpus erinaceus in order to enhance its use in folk medicine. At , and mg/kg aqueous decoctions of leaves and roots bark significantly reduced edema induced by carrageenan and writhing produced by acetic acid injection. These extracts inhibited both phases of pain induced by formaldehyde injection. Hyperthermia induced by the yeast was reduced by aqueous decoction of leaves and roots bark but leaves aqueous decoction showed more strong activity than roots bark. Phytochemical screening of extracts allowed the identification of tannins/polyphenols, flavonois, saponins, triterpènes and steroids, which may responsible for pharmacological properties.
