An in vivo and in vitro Evaluation of Anti-inflammatory Action of Seeds of Vigna unguiculata Available in Bangladeshi Region

Background and Objective: The V. unguiculata always considered as a potential source of new drug development. Seeds of V. unguiculata have found almost all over the world but their pharmacological and nutritional value varies with geographical variability. The aim of the present study was to determine the membrane stabilizing activity of methanolic extract of V. unguiculata Linn (seed) in both in vitro and in vivo study model, while Swiss albino mice were employed as experimental animal. Materials and Methods: The V. unguiculata seeds were initially collected, air-dried by using mechanically graded aluminum foil, finally ground powder was extracted with methanol. During in vitro evaluation, five different concentrations of methanolic extract of V. unguiculata were subjected for determination of anti-inflammatory activity.…
