Abstract

To investigate and evaluate anti-inflammatory activity of 70% methanolic extract of Triumfetta rhomboidea by in vitro study.

Antiinflammatory activity was studied by membrane stabilizing effect on human red blood cells (HRBC) and protein denaturation activity using 70% of methanolic extract of TR.

The methanolic extract of TR having concentration 400μg/ml shows 34% of membrane stabilizing activity whereas same concentration shows 208% of protein denaturation activity by protecting from lysis.

From the study it can be said to be the anti-inflammatory activity of Triumfetta rhomboidea is due protein denaturation activity and membrane stabilizing activity.
