The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of solvent extracts of Eclipta prostrata (L.) L., Euphorbia thymifolia L., Cyanthillium cinereum (L.) H.Rob., Piper longum L. and Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers were investigated, and the phytochemicals present in them were identified. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the extracts were evaluated. All of the plant extracts exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity. Euphorbia thymifolia and Piper longum extracts were found to be better anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative agents. Ethyl acetate and methanol were found to be most effective solvents.
