Anti-arthritic Activity of Abutilon indicum Aerial Parts

摘要

The aim of the study is to investigate the in vitro anti-arthritic activity of Abutilon indicum aerial parts. Inflammation is a vital part of the body's immune response. It is the body's attempt to heal itself after an injury; defend itself against foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria; and repair damaged tissue. Arthritis can cause permanent joint changes. Inflammation is often characterized by redness, swelling, warmth, and sometimes pain and some immobility. Arthritis refers to joint pain or joint disease. The Abutilon indicum is a small shrub in the malvacea native to tropical and subtropical regions and can be cultivated as ornamental. It is often used as medicinal plant. Protein Denaturation method is used to demonstrate the Antiarthritic activity. The present study targets the potential use of Abutilon indicum which could be an alternative approach for many chronic diseases such as arthritis.
