ABSTRACT

Methanol was prepared from dried leaf parts of Basella alba by cold maceration method. Anxiolytic activity of the extract of B. alba was evaluated by tramedol HCl induced by tail flick and hot plate method test in mice. Methanol extract (100 and 200 mg/kg, oral rout) showed highly significant (p<0.001) analgesic activity. All the results were compared with reference drug tramadol HCl. The presence of various phytoconstituents in the extracts was identified by preliminary phytochemical studies. The results of this study suggested that B. alba methanol extract possesses analgesic activity. Keywords: Basella alba, analgesic activity, tail flick method, hot plate method, tramadol HCl, etc.
