Evalution of antipyretic activity of ethanolic root extract of bauhinia recemosa

Abstract

The present study to investigation evaluation of ethanolic root extract of Bauhinia racemosa by using breeyes induced pyrexia rats. The difference in temperature between 0 hour and respective time interval was found out by statistical method. The potency of extract to bring down the temperature was compared with that of the control group. The present results showed that ethanolic extract of root of Bauhinia racemosa plant possess a significant antipyretic effect in yeast induced elevation of body temperature in experimental rats. It was revealed that the extract showed dose dependent antipyretic activity. At a dose of 400 mg/kg, it showed significant antipyretic activity. Final conclusion is the ethanolic extract of Bauhinia racemosa plant has significant antipyretic activity when compared with the standard drug. So, it can be recommended for further studies.
