ABSTRACT

Oxalis corniculata linn is a plant that has traditionally been used to relieve pain and inflammation. In mice, the hot plate method and acetic acid-induced writhing tests were used, whereas in rats, the carrageenan-induced paw edema method was used. The entire plant was extracted in stages using several solvents (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and methanol) in sequence of increasing polarity. Alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, tannins, and phenolic substances were discovered in the Oxalis corniculata linn. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of both extracts (100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg) were significant (P0.01). The pharmacological activities discovered provide a solid foundation for both classic claims and the exploration of novel and potential leads.
