ABSTRACT
Objectives: Validate the study of phytoconstituents from the extracts of Amorphophallus
paeoniifolius tubers for the Anti-Inflammatory activity and prepare the extract into gel form and
evaluate the gel formulation for anti-inflammatory study. Methodology: Amorphophallus
paeoniifolius tuber extract which was successively extracted in various non-polar to polar solvents.
Performed preliminary phytochemical tests for Amorphophallus paeoniifolius tuber extract. The
extract was evaluated for Flavonoid content, phenolic content and antioxidant activity. HRBC study
for Anti- Inflammatory activity for various extract was performed. TLC & comparative TLC for
methanolic extract was carried out. Comparative microbial test of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius tuber
extract with marketed formulation on S.aureus stains. Formulations were prepared and evaluated on
different parameters. Results: Amorphophallus paeoniifolius tuber extract showed the maximum
presence of secondary metabolites in methanolic extract. The total flavonoid content were found to be
11.13 ± 0.118 and 14.83± 0.455 mg of QE/g in methanol extract and total phenolic content was found
to be 8.54 ± 0.043 and 10.26 ± 1.66 mg of GA/g in methanol extract and Amorphophallus
paeoniifolius tuber extract showed significant antioxidant activity in methanolic extract. Methanolic
extract showed the maximum anti-inflammatory activity for HRBC. The comparative microbial study
with marketed formulation shows good results and thus herbal formulation of Amorphophallus
paeoniifolius tuber may be used to cure Inflammation. Conclusion: From this study, we concluded
that Amorphophallus paeoniifolius tuber may be used for the inflammation.
