        Anthonotha macrophylla leaf (AML) is employed in the management of pain, inflammation, and some diseases associated with oxidative stress in African traditional medicine. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities, the acute toxicity and anti-oxidant properties of AML, characterised the phytochemical constituents, and quantified its total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of AML extract were evaluated using carrageenan-induced oedema assay in rats’ paw and acetic acid-induced writhing assays respectively. Anti-oxidant effect of the extract was assessed in vivo by measuring liver antioxidant enzymes and in vitro by using DPPH radical scavenging assay and the acute toxicity of the extract was investigated in vivo in mice. The phytochemicals were characterised using basic phytochemical screening and total phenolics and flavonoids were quantified using established methods. The AML extract exhibited significantly high anti-inflammatory activity and moderate analgesic activity compared to diclofenac sodium. The extract exhibited moderate DPPH scavenging activity, significantly increased Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities, and did not have any effect on lipid peroxidation. AML was found to contain high phenolic and low flavonoids. The LD50 of the extract was above 5000 mg/kg body weight. In conclusion, the AML extract possessed significant anti-inflammatory and moderate analgesic activities, which may be mediated through its strong antioxidant properties due to its phenolic contents. The LD50 value showed that the extract was safe in the short-term utilization. The extract may therefore serve as a source of anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antioxidant agents.
