The present study investigates the analgesic and antipyretic effects of
Hamelia patens leaves on ethanolicextraction.In order to assess the analgesic
effects by Formalin induced writhing response model. However at the doses of
50-200 mg/kg analgesic activities were observed in the early and late phases of
formalin induced paw licking test in rats. The latency in the hot plate test
was increased from 2.2 + 0.3 to 5.7 + 0.3 second (P < 0.05). Likewise, the
early and the late phases of formalin test were reduced from 7.4 + 9.4 and 57.8
+ 8.4 to 36.6 + 4.4 and 29.2 + 4.4 second respectively.The result confirms the analgesic
and antipyretic activities of Hamelia patens leaf extract. We recommended
further research on this plant leaves for possible isolation and
characterization of the various active chemical substances which has the toxic
and medicinal values. - See more at: .
