The present study was undertaken to screen anti-inflammatory activity of alcohol and aqueous extracts of leaves from Berberis coriaceae against HRBC membrane stabilization. The prevention of hypotonicity induced HRBC membrane lysis was taken as a measure of the anti-inflammatory activity. Both the extracts showed a biphasic effect on the membrane stabilization. Their activities are comparable to that of the standard drug diclofenac sodium. However their activities decreased with time.
