Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory and systemic auto immune disease affecting people for the most part
between the ages of 20-25 yrs with accidental course. About 1% of the worlds population is afflicted by rheumatoid
arthritis and is 2-3 times more common in women than men. The rheumatoid arthritis due to the presence of pro
inflammatory markers, cytokines and leukotrines. The primary inflammatory markers are IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-15,
IL-16, IL-17, IL-18, IFN-γ, and the granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, chemokines such as IL-8,
macrophage inflammatory protein-1 and monocyte chemo attractant protein-1. IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, B cells therapy all
these blockade are therapeutic target for its treatment. estimate the anti arthritic activity of the plants are used in
different animal models to induced arthritis. Medicinal plants have been used as major sources of pure of human
diseases since time immemorial. Now a days most of the people depends on traditional medicines of the plants. The
medicinal plants derived medicines for the first time of primary health care because of least or no side effects.

The document discusses bioassays, which are techniques used to determine the potency or concentration of an active ingredient in a preparation. There are two main types of bioassays: quantal/direct endpoint bioassays which measure all-or-none biological responses, and graded response bioassays which measure graded responses to different doses. Graded response bioassays include methods like matching, bracketing, and interpolation bioassays which plot dose-response curves to calculate the potency of a test substance compared to a standard. Multiple point bioassays that use statistical analysis of responses to multiple doses are typically more precise and reliable.

Antioxidants and their therapeutic implicationsManish Kumar
Free radicals are produced during normal metabolism but can damage cells. Antioxidants help destroy free radicals and prevent this damage. Sources of antioxidants include vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, selenium, and phytonutrients found in plants. Lipid peroxidation occurs when free radicals damage lipids and can affect food quality, nutrition, and health, causing conditions like heart disease. Antioxidants have therapeutic implications, as they may help treat or prevent cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, brain injuries, strokes, neurodegenerative diseases, and liver damage by reducing oxidative stress.
12.drugs used in rheumatoid arthritis and gout Dr.Manish Kumar
This document discusses treatments for rheumatoid arthritis and gout. It outlines that for rheumatoid arthritis, first line treatments include NSAIDs and disease-modifying drugs like methotrexate. Methotrexate is often the disease-modifying drug of choice as it has potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects through inhibiting T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. For acute gout attacks, first line treatments include NSAIDs, colchicine, and corticosteroids. Colchicine works by depolymerizing microtubules in granulocytes to reduce inflammation. Chronic gout is treated with uricosuric drugs like probenecid to promote uric acid excretion or allopur
Expt. 5 Study of anti ulcer activity of a drug using nsaid induced ulcer modelVISHALJADHAV100
This document describes an experiment to study the anti-ulcer activity of drugs using a NSAID-induced ulcer model in rats. The experiment involves pretreating rats with cimetidine or ranitidine before administering ulcerogenic NSAIDs like aspirin or indomethacin. The rats are then sacrificed and their stomachs examined for ulcers. Parameters like gastric volume, acidity, and ulcer index are measured and compared between treated and untreated groups to determine the antisecretory and ulcer protective effects of cimetidine and ranitidine. The results show that cimetidine and ranitidine reduce gastric acid secretion and inhibit ulcer formation in NSAID-treated rats.
This document discusses immunomodulators, which are drugs that either suppress (immunosuppressants) or enhance (immunostimulants) the immune system. It describes several classes of immunosuppressants including calcineurin inhibitors like cyclosporine and tacrolimus, antiproliferative agents like azathioprine, mTOR inhibitors like sirolimus, glucocorticoids like prednisolone, and biologics like infliximab. Their mechanisms of action, uses, and adverse effects are summarized. Immunostimulants discussed include levamisole, thalidomide, BCG vaccine, and interferons.
The document summarizes an investigation into the anti-inflammatory potential of Tabernaemontana divaricata leaves. In in-vitro tests, the extract protected red blood cells from lysis at concentrations similar to diclofenac sodium. In in-vivo carrageenan-induced paw edema tests, the extract reduced inflammation at 200 and 400 mg/kg doses, though not as effectively as diclofenac sodium. The study thus demonstrated the anti-inflammatory activity of T. divaricata leaf extract in both in-vitro and in-vivo models.
Hypersensitivity reactions occur when the immune system responds in an exaggerated or inappropriate manner following contact with an antigen. There are four main types of hypersensitivity reactions:
1. Type I reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies and mast cells, causing immediate reactions like anaphylaxis.
2. Type II reactions involve IgG and IgM antibodies binding to antigens on a person's own cells, leading to cell damage or lysis.
3. Type III reactions involve immune complex deposition in tissues, complement activation, and inflammatory cell infiltration causing tissue damage.
4. Type IV delayed reactions are mediated by T cells and involve responses like contact dermatitis and tuberculin reactions occurring 1-3 days after
(1) Ultraviolet radiations are electromagnetic energy between visible light and X-rays that are invisible to the human eye but transmit more energy than visible light. (2) They are produced by the sun or medical generators using mercury and emitted in UVA, UVB, or UVC wavelengths. (3) While ultraviolet radiation has physiological effects like vitamin D production and antibacterial properties, overexposure can cause erythema, skin cancer, and photoaging.
This document summarizes various preclinical screening methods used to evaluate potential anti-epileptic drugs. It describes several animal models of induced seizures including electroshock seizures, chemical-induced seizures using pentylenetetrazol or picrotoxin. It also discusses genetic models like the totterer mouse that is prone to spontaneous seizures. The key methods are maximal electroshock in mice/rats to test generalized tonic-clonic seizure protection and the pentylenetetrazol test in mice to assess anticonvulsant effects against petit mal-like seizures. These preclinical tests aim to predict potential efficacy of new compounds before clinical trials in humans.
Preclinical evaluation of anti-epileptic drugs involves testing in various animal models of seizures. Common models include electrically or chemically induced seizures using maximal electroshock, pentylenetetrazol, picrotoxin, or strychnine administration. The effects of potential drugs are assessed by changes in seizure threshold, pattern, EEG changes, or incidence. Chronic models involve kindling or post-status epilepticus models to evaluate drugs for spontaneous recurrent seizures. Various in vivo methods detailed assess drug effects on different seizure types and epilepsies.
This document discusses the pharmacology of allergies. It defines allergy as an adverse immune reaction to a substance that was previously sensitized to. There are four main types of allergic reactions mediated by antibodies and immune cells. Anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction that can cause shock by releasing histamine and other mediators from mast cells. Antihistamines are used to treat allergies by blocking the H1 receptor and inhibiting histamine's effects. Penicillin is a common drug that can cause allergic reactions. Platelet activating factor and bradykinin are also important mediators involved in allergic responses.

interest in understanding the pathogenesis of RA increased the importance of studying the biomarkers involved in different stages of the disease and diagnosis
The document discusses rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the joints. It begins by defining RA and noting its prevalence. The etiology is unknown but involves genetic and environmental factors. The pathophysiology involves the immune system attacking the synovial tissue lining joints. Clinical features include symmetric joint pain and stiffness. Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, labs like rheumatoid factor, and imaging. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation and joint damage through medications like NSAIDs, DMARDs, corticosteroids, and biologics. Lifestyle changes like exercise and nutrition can also help manage symptoms.
The document discusses integrative approaches for treating inflammation and arthritis. It describes how the immune system can become activated and lead to inflammation through cytokines in response to infections or environmental triggers. Chronic conditions like heart disease and dementia are also linked to inflammation. Exercise and dietary changes are highlighted as important ways to control chronic inflammation by lowering inflammatory markers. Specific anti-inflammatory foods, supplements, and herbs that may help treat rheumatoid arthritis are also outlined.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can affect multiple organs and is considered a systemic illness. The cause is unknown but is believed to involve genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers activating an immune response. Treatment involves medications to reduce inflammation and slow joint damage, physical therapy, exercise and lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery. The goals are to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, prevent further joint damage, and improve quality of life.
This document discusses rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the synovium lining the joints, causing pain, swelling, and inflammation. It covers signs and symptoms of RA like joint stiffness and pain. Risk factors include genetics and gender, with most cases occurring between ages 35-50. Treatment involves NSAIDs, DMARDs, corticosteroids, biologics, and JAK inhibitors to reduce inflammation and slow disease progression. The pathology involves cytokines and immune cells that promote inflammation, and diagnosis is based on symptoms, physical exam, blood tests, and x-rays.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints and causes pain, stiffness, and swelling. It impacts around 1% of the adult population worldwide. While conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) like methotrexate are usually the first line of treatment, biological DMARDs or biologics targeting molecules like tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are used for cases that are resistant to conventional DMARDs. Biologics have revolutionized RA treatment by providing rapid relief and preventing long-term joint damage. The monoclonal antibody rituximab depletes B cells and is effective for RA by reducing inflammation and rheumatoid factor levels. It is administered as two 1000 mg intravenous
Rheumatoid arthirits (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects many tissues and organs but mainly affects the joints,
producing a proliferative and inflammatory disease that progresses to damage the joint cartilage and ankylosis of the joints. About
1% of the world’s population is affected by RA. Women three to five times more often than men, it is more common in age group
of 40 to 70 years of age. The useful serological markers for RA are Rheumatoid factor (RF) and antibodies to citrullinated peptides.
This present study was done to find out the prevalence of serological marker in suspected arthritis case in tertiary care hospital.
This prospective study was carried out in serology section in central pathology lab in Government Medical College, Banda from
April 2015 to August 2018. Total 776 blood samples were received for RA factor analysis. Out of 776 samples, 111 samples were
positive for RA factor 14.3% prevalence. Total 88 cases were females and 23 were males. Most common age group involved was
21 - 60 years in females and 40 - 70 years in males. For evaluation of patients with suspected RA, it is recommended to perform
anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody and RF analysis to increase specificity of the results.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing swelling, stiffness, and pain. Diagnosis involves blood tests to check inflammatory markers like ESR, CRP, and rheumatoid factor. Imaging tests like x-rays, MRI, and ultrasound can also detect joint damage. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and joint damage through medications and lifestyle changes. Gout is caused by high uric acid levels leading to urate crystal deposition in joints, causing sudden, severe attacks of arthritis. Anemia occurs when the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry adequate oxygen to the tissues. Common causes include iron deficiency
This document provides an overview of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It discusses the history and first descriptions of RA. The epidemiology section notes that RA affects 0.5-1% of adults worldwide and is more common in females. Genetics plays a role, as the risk is increased in relatives and twin studies show a 60% genetic contribution. The HLA-DRB1 gene confers the greatest risk. Environmental factors like smoking can also increase risk. The pathogenesis involves a breakdown of self-tolerance leading to autoantibodies like rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibodies. T cells and cytokines like TNF-alpha promote inflammation and joint damage. Clinical features include variable onset patterns and progressive joint damage over time, sometimes leading

In Vitro Anti Inflammatory and Anti Arthritic Activity of Commelina benghalen...SriramNagarajan16
Introduction
Commelina benghalensis L. commonly known as Benghal dayflower, belongs to the family Commelinaceae. It
is widely used for the treatment of wounds and skin diseases.
Aim
The current study focuses on the evaluation of in vitro anti-inflammatory and antiarthritic property of the leaf
extracts ofCommelina benghalensis L.
Methods
The hydroalcoholic extract (70%) of Commelina benghalensis L. (Leaf) was subjected to anti-inflammatory and
anti arthritic activity by membrane stabilisation and inhibition of protein denaturation method were determined.
Results
The inhibitory concentration (IC50) of HAECB in HRBC membrane stabilization study was found to be 69µg/ml in
comparison with diclofenac sodium 57µg/ml. It showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity. The inhibitory
concentration (IC50) of HAECB in protein denaturation was found to be 17µg/ml in comparison with diclofenac
sodium 14µg/ml. It showed moderate anti-arthritic activity.
Conclusion
HAECB showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity which may be due to the strong occurrence of
polyphenolic compounds such as flavonoids, tannins and phenols. HAECB has shown moderate anti-arthritic
activity which may be due to the phenolic constituent.
This document summarizes the pathophysiological mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis and the mechanisms of action of drugs used to treat it. It discusses how autoimmunity and inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-1 contribute to joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis. It also describes the clinical manifestations of the disease and diagnostic tests. The treatment section covers non-drug approaches like physiotherapy and commonly used drugs like NSAIDs, DMARDs, and corticosteroids. NSAIDs work by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes to reduce inflammation, while corticosteroids inhibit inflammatory cytokines.

Tuberculosis is a lung disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It remains a major global health problem. In 2020, there were an estimated 10 million new TB cases and 1.5 million TB deaths worldwide, making it one of the top 10 causes of death globally. The disease disproportionately affects low and middle income countries. Key risk factors include poverty, HIV infection and indoor air pollution. Early diagnosis and complete treatment are important for controlling the spread of the disease.
Vitamin D in Rheumatoid Arthritis
This document summarizes several studies that examine the relationship between vitamin D levels and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the joints that can lead to disability. Some studies found that RA patients had lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy individuals, and lower vitamin D levels were associated with higher disease activity and reduced remission rates. However, one study found no correlation between vitamin D levels and RA risk. Vitamin D may help regulate the immune system and inhibit inflammatory responses, so maintaining adequate vitamin D levels could potentially help moderate RA symptoms, but more research is still needed to fully understand this relationship.

ABSTRACT
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory and systemic auto immune disease affecting people for the most part
between the ages of 20-25 yrs with accidental course. About 1% of the worlds population is afflicted by rheumatoid
arthritis and is 2-3 times more common in women than men. The rheumatoid arthritis due to the presence of pro
inflammatory markers, cytokines and leukotrines. The primary inflammatory markers are IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-15,
IL-16, IL-17, IL-18, IFN-γ, and the granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, chemokines such as IL-8,
macrophage inflammatory protein-1 and monocyte chemo attractant protein-1. IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6, B cells therapy all
these blockade are therapeutic target for its treatment. estimate the anti arthritic activity of the plants are used in
different animal models to induced arthritis. Medicinal plants have been used as major sources of pure of human
diseases since time immemorial. Now a days most of the people depends on traditional medicines of the plants. The
medicinal plants derived medicines for the first time of primary health care because of least or no side effects.
Keywords: Rheumatoid arthritis, Cytokines, Medicinal plants.
INTRODUCTION
Arthritis, generally inflammation of joints is
occurring in all age groups it is a one of the oldest
known diseases. In India, more than about 20% of
total population is suffering from arthritis. RA is a
chronic, systemic inflammatory disease for the
most part affecting the joints & periarticular tissue.
RA still remains a difficult disease being capable of
producing severe crippling deformities, functional
disabilities, cartilage destruction it commonly leads
to major disability, caused by macrophages
including reactive on species, ecosanoids such as
prostaglandins, leukotrines & cytokines. The
regulation of these mediators secreted by
macrophages & other Immune cells. The
modulations of arachidonic acid metabolism by
inhibiting enzymes like COX & LOX are the
potential target for chronic inflammatory
conditions. Pro inflammatory cytokines such as
TNF-α, IL-β&IL-6 are important mediators of the
disease continuation. The arthritis usually begins in
the small joints of the hands & the feet, dispersion
later to the larger joints, the inflamed joint lining or
synovial extends & then erodes the articular
cartilage & bone, causing joint deformity &
progressive physical disability. Exra articular

5features include nodules, pericarditis, pulmonary
fibrosis, peripheral neuropathy & amyloidosis.
Epidemiology
About 1% of the world’s population is afflicted
by RA, women 3times more often than men.
Represents 1 of the most prevalent chronic health
problems & is a leading cause of disability, in 2002
U.S adults 43million affected by arthritis, in 2020
expected to reach 60 million. It is upto 3times more
common in smokes than non-smokers, particularly
in men heavy smokers &those drank people,
modest amounts of alcohol regularly were 4 times
less likely to get RA than those who never drank.
Pathogenesis of RA
In response to antigenic exposure in a
genetically predisposed individual (HLA-DR),
CD4+Tcell are activated.
CD4 + T cell
Elaborate cytokines like TNF-α, IL- 1β, IL-6
Activates endothelial cells, B- lymphocytes, macrophages
B- cells are activated and releases IgM & Ig-G antibodies
This molecules is termed as RF.
IgG & IgM immune complexes trigger inflammatory damage
to the synovium, small blood vessels& collagen.
Endothelial cells are activated and express adhesion molecules
which are stimulate inflammatory cells.
Macrophages are activated& releases more cytokines.
Causes damage to joint tissue, vascularization of cartilage called as pannus formation.
Fibrosis, ankylosis& joint deformities.
DIAGNOSIS
Blood tests
Routine viral screening by serologic testing
does not significantly facilitate the diagnosis of RA
in patients with early RA, nor is it helpful as a
potential identifier of disease. progression.
potentially useful laboratory studies in suspected
RA fall into 3 categories – markers of
inflammation, heamatologic parameters &
immunologic parameters are include the following:
ESR (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate)

classification criteria, micro RNA.
Hematological parameters
CBC – A CBC will test various levels of cells &
chemicals present in blood, including the red &
white blood cells, platelets, markers of liver &
kidney function& uric acid. Patients with RA often
have an abnormal CBC, with anemia (Decreased
red blood cells or HB) & Thrombocytophenia
(Decreased platelets).
Immunologic parameters:
Autoantibodies (RF, ANA, ACPA, AFA), mi RNA.
RF: It is an Ig M antibody directed against the
FC (crystallisable fraction) fragment of IgG,i,e;
present in approximately 60-80% of patients with
RA over the course of their disease but in less than
40% of patients with early RA,3%-5% of healthy
adults have serum RF: this increases to 10-30% in
the elderly. RF is more recognized as a biomarker
for RA than anti-CCP, having been adopted as one
of the ACR, classification criteria, for RA in 1987.
The European clinical standing committee for
International clinical studies including
Therapeutics (ESCISIT) notes that it is one of
several prognostic markers used to recognize
patients with constant or erosive disease but does
not optional RF as a diagnostic marker of RA. Most
likely at least in part due to its limited specificity.
RF is also common in other auto immune diseases,
infectious diseases& malignancies, making it a
relatively nonspecific marker of RA . Although
ANAS are present in approximately 40% of
patients with RA, test results for antibodies to most
nuclear antigen subsets are negative.
Herbal Therapy for the Treatment of
Arthritis
Herbal medicines are used for the treatment of
various ailments ancient times & in the mankind
the herbal drugs are used is not an amplification.
Herbal medicines are synthesized from the
therapeutic experience of cohort of practicing
physicians of very old system of medicine for more
than hundreds of years. Nowadays, investigator
shows a great curiosity in those medicinal agents
that are resulting from plants because the currently
available drugs are either have certain side effects
or highly expensive. The herbal plants which are
widely distributed all over the world as a source of
therapeutic agents for the prevention & cure of
various diseases. According to WHO, World’s 80%
population uses herbal medicines for their primary
health care needs. The medicinally important parts
of these herbal plants are chemical constituents that
produce a desired physiological action on the body.
Since very old time India uses herbal medicines in
the formally alternatives systems of health such as
Ayurveda, Unani & Sidha, Homeopathy&
Naturopathy. In, India, there are more than 2500
plants species which are currently used as herbal
medicaments, for than 3000 years the herbal
medicines are used either directly as folk
medication or indirectly in the preparation of recent
pharmaceuticals. Thus, from the knowledge of
traditional plants one might be able to discover the
new effective & cheaper drugs. In this review
article, we have tried to cover all the ayurvedic
strategies that are followed for the treatment of RA
without any possible side effects. The future
treatment of RA should provide more effective
relief.
Surender singh et al Reported that anti-arthritic
activity of poly herbal formulation of Majoon
suranjan.in arthritis induced albino wistar rats.MS
(450mg & 900,1800mg/kg, b.w) were tested for its
anti arthritic activity by formaldehyde & complete
freund’s adjuvant induced arthritis. The results
suggest that the anti-arthritic activity of MS was
due to the interplay between its anti-inflammatory
&disease modifying activities, thus supporting its
use in traditional medicine for the treatment of RA.
Kore K.J et al Reported that anti-arthritic activity
of Hydro alcoholic leaf extract of Lawsonia
innermis linn in adjuvant induced rats, To evaluate
the Biochemical parameters such as HB, ESR. The
results of the current investigation concluded,
hydroalcoholic extract of Lawsonia inermis possess
a significant anti-arthritic activity against adjuvant
induced arthritis & formaldehyde induced arthritis
model& justifying its therapeutic role in arthritic
condition. The observed anti arthritic activity may
4. Challa P K et al / Int. J. of Pharmacology and Clin. Research Vol-3(2) 2019 [88-94]
91
be due to the presence of phytoconstituents such as
alkaloid & flavonoids. PokhrajGuha et al Reported
that the analyses of human & rat clinical
parameters in rheumatoid arthritis the use of crude
Aloe Vera gel in disease Amelioration. To
evaluated the anti arthritic roles of raw Aloe Vera
gel & it’s effects in rat model where arthritis was
induced by using freundscomplete adjuvant. 3
essential conclusive statements were derived from
the study. Firstly, the 6 clinical parameters that we
have selected for the study namely, RA factor,
CRP, ASO, ESR, Ceruloplasmin& serum creatinine
were all essential for the different diagnosis of RA
during its early& later stages, RA factor being the
most sensitive of all parameters. Secondly this
study has supported the use of the rat as a model
for designing therapeutic strategies against. Lastly
as evident from our study, Aloe Vera gel extracts
can be beneficial for the reduction of inflammatory
edema& also for the reduction of Ceruloplasmin in
RA condition in rat model. However, further
investigations are necessary for more refined
therapeutic usage of aloe Vera for the treatment of
RA in human. Manjushachoudhary et al The anti
arthritic activity reported that Barleriaprionitis
Linn. leaves extract in arthritis induced rats. The
extract of Barleriaprionitis were tested for various
preliminary phyto constitutes & were screened for
anti arthritic activities using freunds complete
adjuvant arthritis & formaldehyde induced arthritis
in albino wister rats. The results conclude that
arthritis assessment, paw volume, body weight,
motor incoordination, nociceptive threshold in
freunds complete adjuvant induced arthritis. The
present investigation of plant extract protects
synovial membrane by improving the health status
through haematinic parameters and exhibits
promissing anti arthritic activity. ArtiBhujade et al
The activity of anti arthritis reported that
Cissusquadrangularis against adjuvant induced
arthritis in albino wister rats. The anti arthritic
activity of active fraction of Cissusquadrangularis
obtained from acetone extract of
Cissusquadrangularishas been reported by
employing complete adjuvant arthritis. Rat paw
edema was induced by carragenan, the alternated
pharmacological parameters, biochemical
parameters were determined. The results had
indicated that AFCQ possesses a significant anti
arthritic activity against freunds complete adjuvant
induced arthritis. Results were analyzed through
histopathology& radiography. Madhavi G. Patel et
al The anti arthritic activity of classical Ayurvedic
formulation of alcoholic extract of Vatariguggulu
in albino wister rats. Reported that the extract was
administered to the rats by oral gavages in different
doses. Joint swelling was measured in
formaldehyde induced arthritis. To determine the
various physical, biochemical, radiography
parameters in CFA induced arthritis.
Divyamanipolireddy et al Reported that the arthritic
activity of ethanolic extract of Sidacardifolia. This
Sidacardifolia Linn tested on rats showed potent
anti oxidant & anti inflammatory activity. The
observed results of anti arthritic activity may be
due to the presence of phyto constitutes such as
glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids,
Tannins, carbohydrates. Vijayalaxmi A et al The
anti arthritic and the anti inflammatory activities
are reported that Beta caryophyllene against
freunds complete adjuvant induced arthritis in
albino wister rats. To measure the arthritis
assessment, paw volume, radiological examination
was performed. To examine the histopathology,
biochemical parameters like anti oxidant, total
protein, lipid peroxidation, serum nitrates, SGOT,
SGPT. The results are Beta caryophyllene
significantly decreased in the arthritis which was
evident with arthritis index,paw volume as well as
the maintenance of biochemical parameters. Th3
histopathology and radiological examinations are
also revealed the control in inflammation with Beta
caryophyllene. Madan Singh et al The current
study is aimed to evaluate the leaf extract of
Manilkarazapota of anti arthritic activity by using
in vitro inhibition of membrane stabilisation and
protein denaturation model. The standard drug is
acetyl salicylic acid. The results are revealed that
the 2 different concentrations of ethanolic leaf
extract of Manilkarazapota possessed significant
anti arthritic activity compared to acetyl salicylic
acid is the standard drug and the test plant extract
shows the dose dependent activity. Sumitra Singh
et al Reported that the study was planned to the in
vitro bark extract of anti arthritic activity of Acacia
auriculiformis A cunn. The ethyl acetate, ethanol,
aq. Extracts of this plant were subjected to
phytochemical constitutes screening. Denaturation
was induced by incubating the extracts with bovine
serum albumin under controlled experimental
5. Challa P K et al / Int. J. of Pharmacology and Clin. Research Vol-3(2) 2019 [88-94]
92
conditions. The protein denaturation and membrane
stabilisation were calculated by determination of
their absorbance. The results showed that the plant
extracts showed anti arthritic activity in a
concentration dependent manner and the activity
was increased on increasing the concentration of
extracts. Ethanol extract was found to be more
effective than the other extracts. In this study the
phyto constitutes are phenol, Tannins, flavonoids
present in the plant. The recent study reveals that
the stem bark software Acacia auriculiformis
possesses anti arthritic activity. Dr.Devprakash et
al To evaluate the activity of anti arthritic potential
of Zingiberofficinale in rats. The alcoholic and
aqueous extract of the Zingiberofficinale were
tested for its anti arthritic activity by formaldehyde
induced arthritis. Evaluation of the phytoconstitutes
screening revealed the presence of alkaloids,
flavonoids, Tannins, terpenoids, phlobotannins in
both extracts. In both extracts the LD50 studies up
to the maximum of 2000mg/kg dose level no
mortality was observed. Their investigation
concluded that both extracts of Zingiberofficinale
possesses a significant anti arthritic activity. Yong
Chen et al Reported that the arthritic activity of
ethanolic extract of Claoxylonindicum on freunds
complete adjuvant induced arthritis in albino wister
rats. The results also found that there was a
significant reduction level of expression of
interleukin- 1B, TNF- alpha in the serum samples
of freunds complete adjuvant rats. To determine the
paw volume, severity of arthritis score, radiological
examinations. In this the inflammatory responses in
the joints of adjuvant induced arthritis suggested by
the modulatory effects on paw swelling,
hyperplasia, of lymphatic tissues and synovial
membrane. The results are suggested that CIE
possessed substantial anti arthritic activity due to
immuno depression and regulation of cytokines,
CIE may be a potential candidate for the treatment
of RA. MNL Aishwarya et al Reported that anti
arthritic activity of Murraya exotica against
formaldehyde induced arthritis in rats. Evaluation
of haemotological, biochemical, radiographic
examination of joints. The results demonstrated
significant anti arthritic activity of M.ecotica at the
doses (200&400 mg/kg, b.w, p.o) by ameliorating
the changes in physical, haemotological,
biochemical parameters as compared to arthritic
control evidenced by the radiographical
examinations of joints. Madhavi G. Patel et al
Proved that the effects of ethanol extract an
ayurvedic preparation (pathyadya churna) on
arthritis in rats. Results indicate that the extract of
pathyadya churna treatment reduced paw swelling
in arthritis caused by both formaldehyde and CFA.
In CFA treated rats, a significant decrease was seen
in haemoglobin, red blood cell count. There also
significant elevations in white blood cell count,
ESR, total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins.
Treatment with PCE significantly reversed all the
haemotological, radiographic changes in dose
dependent manner. Himanshu Sharma et al Shows
that the evaluation of anti arthritic activity of
Cinnamomum cassia bark extract in experimental
rats. The results indicates measure the joint
diameter, ankle diameter, MDA levels. Also
measured paw volume, serum TNF–α, IL-1β,
histopathology. CCHE treatment significantly
reduced MDA levels and joint swelling in a
concentration dependent manner in rats with
formaldehyde induced arthritis, in which GSH
levels ere elevated. In rats CFA induced arthritis
the CCHE treatment significantly reduced joint
swelling, as well as TNF–α, IL-1β levels. Chioma
A Anosike et al Shows the results of Membrane
stabilization as a mechanism of the anti
inflammatory activity of methanol extract of garden
egg (Solanum aethiopicum). The methanol extracts
of garden egg significantly and dose dependently
reduced the acetic acid induced vascular
permeability and agar induced leukocyte
mobilization in rats. Te results show that methanol
extract of Solnum aethiopicum has anti
inflammatory properties and can reduce
inflammatory injury and tissue damage.
CONCLUSION
Arthritis is the chronic auto immune
inflammatory disorders, primary cause of disability
in western& developing countries. The presently
available synthetic drugs in the market are not only
reasonable management but also connected with
adverse effects. The synthetic drugs includes
NSAIDS, DMARDS like cyclophosphamide,
intramuscular gold, sulfasalazine, methotrexate had
the side effects of stomach ulcers, GIT bleeding,
kidney, liver damage, hypertension. A large
number of plants described this review clearly

established the importance of herbal plants in
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The information
discussed in this analysis might be moderately
useful in obtaining monographs on plants&
recommendations on their use. In this assessment,
we mainly deal with the security profile,
pathogenesis, toxicity studies of plant extracts. The
plant extracts& poly herbal formulations would be
served as an exchange therapy for the treatment of
arthritis with minor side effects.
