title: Anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of Lippia nodiflora Linn.
abstract: The methanolic extract of leaves of Lippia nodiflora Linn. was tested for its anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. The extract showed a significant (P < 0.001) anti-inflammatory activity comparable to phenylbutazone against carrageenin-induced paw edema in rats and a significant (P < 0.001) antinociceptive activity comparable to diclofenac sodium in acetic acid induced writhing in white albino mice.
