- Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of Punica granatum peel extract by in vitro analysis. Objective: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of P. granatum peel extract by in vitro analysis. Materials and Methods: P. granatum was collected from local market, shade dried, and peeled. The ethanol extraction of P. granatum peel powder was done as per the standard method. Different concentrations of the extract were used for anti-inflammatory activity by inhibition of albumin denaturation and proteinase inhibitory action methods. All samples were analyzed in triplicate. The results were statistically analyzed. Results: The results indicate that the methanol extracts of P. granatum possess anti-inflammatory properties. Conclusion: It is concluded from the present study that methanol extracts of P. granatum possess anti-inflammatory properties due to the strong occurrence of polyphenolic compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids, and phenols in the plant extracts.
