摘要

The effects of the methanol extract (crude) and aqueous fraction of Anthocleista djalonensis on acute inflammation were examined. Oral administration of the methanol extract showed acute anti-inflammatory activity against Carrageenan induced paw edema in rats although not too significantly different (P>0.05) from the control at 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg. The aqueous fraction of the methanol extract significantly inhibited (P < 0.05) carrageenan induced paw edema in rats at 500 mg/kg. Significant activity against Dextran induced paw edema in rats was exhibited by both methanol extract (P< 0.01) and aqueous fractions (P< 0.05) when administered orally at 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg. The dry powdered leaf was found to contain alkaloids, glycosides, saponins and tannins. It is revealed from the screening model used that the methanol extract and aqueous fraction of this plant possesses acute anti-inflammatory activity. Introduction The use of plants to treat ailments is as old as antiquity. Records of humans using plants to treat diseases have been recorded as far back as 6000 to 4000 years ago when Ayurvedic physicians started treating tumors with extracts from Vinca roseus [1]. The use of medicinal herb in the treatment and prevention of diseases is attracting attention by scientists world wide [2]. The use of traditional medicine and medicinal plants in most developing countries, as a normotive basis for the maintenance of good health, has been widely observed [3]. Anthocleista djalonensis commonly called “Fartanlafla” in Mali [4], “Osuo” in Bayelsa (Southern Nigeria) is used traditionally for the treatment of various diseases, the plant is known for antipyretic, stomachic, analgesic and purgative actions [56], the aqueous extract was reported to produce a rise in blood pressure of cats and an increase in tone and amplitude of movement of rabbit duodenal preparations. The root decoction has been used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Herbalists claim a high percentage of cures in their diabetic patients treated with it [7].Traditionally, the leaves are reputed to be used for the treatment of malaria and jaundice [8]. The bark is used as a purgative in small doses as large doses are considered toxic. According to the Mendi ethnomedicine, when the tree is used as firewood, the people sitting around the fire become sick [9].The decoction of the leaves is drunk in Sierra Leone as treatment for jaundice, in Ivory Coast the root is used as a diuretic, vigorous purgative, poison antidote, treatment for leprosy, as an emmenagogue and in the treatment of edemas and elephantiasis of the scrotum. The root decoction is taken against chest pain, constipation and stomach pain [10]. The study was therefore aimed at investigating the anti-inflammatory activity of the leaf extracts with a view to justifying the use of the plant in the treatment of oedemas and elephantiasis of the scrotum. Materials and Methods Plant collection and identificationThe fresh leaves of Anthocleista djalonensis were collected in Ugbowo area of Benin city, Edo State, Nigeria, in March 2008 and identified and authenticated by Dr. B.A Ayinde of the Department of Pharmacognosy, University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria, were a voucher specimen has been deposited. Dried leaves of Anthocleista djalonensis were reduced to a fine powder with a mechanical grinder, filtered, and the fine powder was stored in a non-toxic polyethylene bag.Extraction and fractionation of plantThe fine powder (600 g) was marcerated in 2.5 litres methanol for 48 hours, filtered, concentrated in a rotary evaporator, weighed (84 g) and stored. Forty grams of the concentrate was dissolved in methanol and successively and exhaustively partitioned into various fractions using n-hexane, chloroform and water. The various fractions were evaporated to dryness, weighed and stored in the fridge.Phytochemical screeningQualitative assay, for the presence of plant secondary metabolites such as carbohydrate, alkaloi
