ABSTRACT

Medicinal plants are playing an imperative role in the therapy for treating various chronic ailments including arthritis. The present study is aimed to evaluate the in-vivo anti-arthritic activity of ethanolic extract of Cymbidium sarah Jean flower using complete freund’s adjuvant (CFA)-induced model. The latency of the arthritic secondary response ended after a few days and was characterized by joint swelling and nodule events on the 7th day. Administration of Cymbidium Sarah Jean (250 mg/kg) significantly (P < 0.01) protected against joint swelling in paws in rats with induced arthritis compared with the arthritis control group. But a significant reduction was observed from day 11 to day 13 in the Cymbidium sarah treated (200 mg/kg) group. However, the effects of cymbidium sarah at 350 mg/kg were found to be significant (P < 0.001) from the initial stage of the secondary response and were maintained throughout the experiment. They were significant (P < 0.01) 15-19 days after FCA injection compared with the group treated with the reference standard, indomethacin at 10 mg/kg.

Keywords: Cymbidium sarah, Anti-arthritic activity, Extraction, Phytochemical analysis.
