Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Plants Potentilla Speciosa Villd and Potentilla Tommasiniana Fw. Schultz., Rosaceae

Abstract

Anti-inflammatory activity of acetone extract of plant root sorts Polentilla speciosa Villd. and Potentilla tommasiniana FW.Schultz, Rosaceae was examined. The examined material was picked up in autumn in the surroundings of Sarajevo, dried in thin layer and pulverized immediately before the experiment. Swiss albino mice were used as experimental animals. The examinations word performed on mouse car in groups as presented in the Table 1. As comparing substance 1% hydro-cortisone cream was used. The other ear of the same animal was used as control one. It is found that acetone docs not influence the process of inflammation. The achieved results are presented by changes in car appearance after three days from the moment of examined extracts application. The treated car looked significantly better than untreated car. The examined mice groups and used substances are presented in Table 1.

This method of local anti-inflammatory activity examination on mouse car is very suitable for examination because it gives data even for small sample quantities.

Examined acetone extracts of plant sorts Potentilla speciosa Villd. and Potentilla tommasiniana FW. Schultz, Rosaceae showed to possess anti-inflammatory activity, and the achieved results can be objectively shown by photographs of the examined samples. Comparing the achieved results, we can come to the conclusion that acetone extract of the plant root Potentilla speciosa Villd. Showed stronger anti-inflammatory activity than the extract of plant root Potentilla tommasiniana FW. Schultz, Rosaceae.
