ABSTRACT

Inflammation is a reaction of a living vascularised tissue to an injury. Conventional or synthetic drugs used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases are inadequate, it sometimes have serious side effects. So, number of herbal medicines is recommended for the treatment of inflammation that has no side effects. This has given the impetus to the search for alternative medicines with no or less side effects.Bael (Aeglemarmelos) has been known to be one of the most important medicinal plants of India since Charak (1500 B.C). More than 100 phytochemical compounds have been isolated from various parts of the plant, namely phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, and tannins. However, their anti-inflammatory properties are yet to be explored. This study sought to evaluate the anti-inflammatory potentials of hydroalcoholic extract of root of Aeglemarmelos. Qualitative analysis of various phytochemical constituents and quantitative analysis of total alkaloid was determined by the well-known test protocol available in the literature. This study, therefore, justifies the use of the plant in the treatment of inflammation.

Keywords: Aeglemarmelos, Phytochemical profile, Alkaloids, In Vitro anti-inflammatory Activity.
