Abstract
CONTEXT
Ixora coccinea leaves possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antimutagenic, and gastroprotective properties. On this background, its antiarthritic potential was evaluated.
AIMS
The objective is to evaluate the effect of Ethanolic extract of Ixora coccinea leaves (EEICL) on complete Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats.
SETTINGS AND STUDY DESIGN
PG research laboratory, Pharmacology Department, MKCG Medical College, Berhampur, Odisha.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
Thirty-six Wistar albino rats were randomly distributed into sixgroups (n = 6) as follows: Gr 1 (normal control)-DW p.o, Gr-2 (disease control [DC] - Tween 80 p.o), Gr-3 (piroxicam 0.9 mg/kg p.o), Gr-4 (EEICL-1 g/kg, p.o, Gr 4-EEICL-1.5 g/kg p.o, Gr 5-ED50 (0.82 g/kg) + piroxicam (0.45 mg/kg) p.o. After induction of arthritis, drugs, and vehicles were administered daily from 5th to 25th day. On 0, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 25th day, parameters like body weight, rotarod fall time, paw volume displacement, and arthritis index were measured. On the last day, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), and histopathological analysis were done.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED
Analysis of parametric data was done by one-way ANOVA and nonparametric data by Kruskal-Wallis test using graph pad prism 7.0. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS
EEICL (1.5 mg/kg) showed anti-arthritic effect compared with DC. Rotarod fall-off time 137.5 ± 2.5 sec and body weight (139 ± 12.74 g) were increased significantly. The percentage inhibition of paw volume was increased(52%) whereas arthritic score(0.33), ESR(3.51mm/hr), synovial tissue MDA level (0.62±0.13µmol/gm) and Mankin score(2) were reduced significantly as compared to disease control.
CONCLUSIONS
EEICL has anti-arthritic potential in rat model.
