Antinociceptive activity of the ethanolic extract of Ficus racemosa Lin. (Moraceae)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The ethanolic extract of Ficus racemosa Lin. (Moraceae) bark and fruit were tested for its possible
antinociceptive activity study on acetic acid induced writhing method in mice. Both the bark and
fruit extracts at a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight showed significant antinociceptive activity on
the experimental animals. The fruit extract showed most potent inhibition of acetic acid induced
writhing in mice (61.38%, P < 0.001) where as the bark extract showed inhibition only 42.6% (P <
0.001) and all the result were statistically significant.
