Investigation of In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory and In Vitro Anti-Oxidant Activity of Bark of Albizia procera Benth

Albizia procera belongs to the family mimosaceae, found in the sub-Himalayan tracts from Yamuna eastwards to west Bengal, Gujarat, South India and in the Andamans, Madagascar which is used in the treatment of ulcer, cancer, stomach and intestinal diseases and rheumatism. The qualitative phyto-chemical screening showed the presence of phenols, steroids, alkaloids, flavanoids, tannins, carbohydrates, terpenoids, saponins and proteins. The Petroleum ether, Chloroform, Ethyl acetate, Ethanol and Hydro alcohol extracts of the bark of Albizia procera were subjected to In vitro Anti- Inflammatory activity by HRBC membrane stabilization method and In vitro antioxidant activity by Lipid Per Oxidation method in various concentrations i.e. 10, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000 µg/ml. In Anti-Inflammatory activity the effect was represented as follows Ethanol> Ethyl acetate > Hydro alcohol > Chloroform>Petroleum ether. In Lipid per oxidation activity, the effect was represented as follows Ethanol > Hydro alcohol> Ethyl acetate > Chloroform >Petroleum ether Albizia procera exhibits the above activity which can be accredited by phenolic acids present in it.
