Abstract
Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities of the extracts of Eclipta alba Leaves
Muthu Kumaran Peraman, P. Ramalingam, and Bapatla JNN Sai
The aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the leaves of Eclipta alba (Astraceae) were evaluated for
their anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema method in albino
rats. The antimicrobial activity was also been performed against the bacteria Staphylococcus
aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the fungi Candida
albicans and Aspergillus niger by agar plate disc diffusion method. The results indicated that the
ethanolic extracts (200mg/kg) have shown significant anti-inflammatory activity with p value of
0.005 and however, both of the extracts were exhibited moderate antibacterial and antifungal
activity against the test organism.
