Hunasagi B. S.* and Niraj Guptha

Abstract

The study was aimed at evaluating the Analgesic activity of different extract of leaves and roots of jasminum sambac. The dried roots and leaves of jasminum sambac were extracted with ethanol. Extracts of Jasminum sambac Linn (Oleaceae) were screened for analgesic activity by Tail flick method in comparison with standard Buprenorphine. The root and leaf extracts were studied by observing tail flick at different time intervals. These results suggest that ethanoic leaf extract of leaves at 200 mg/kg body weight is shown more potent analgesic effect compare to root extract of jasminum sambac.

Keywords: Jasminum sambac Linn, Tail flick method, Buprenorphine, Analgesic activity.
