Abstract

Plant extracts have been widely evaluated for biological properties. In the present study, the Immunomodulatory effect of leaf extracts of phoenix silvestris was investigated in mice against mefanemic acid induced immunomodulation model. The first group was treated with normal saline, second group was treated with mefenamic acid (100mg/kg) and last group was treated with mefenamic acid100mg/kg + extract (100mg/kg). The blood sample from the each group was withdrawn. The result shows that the mefenamic acid lower the cell count which was observed in group second, leaf extract of phoenix silvestris increase the cell count which was observed in group III which was treated with extract and mefenamic acid.
