Abstract
The methanolic extract of the root of S. longepedunculata was screened for anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anticonvulsant activities, as well as for effects on phenobarbitone sleeping time. The extract produced an inhibition of the carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema, an inhibition of writhings induced by acetic acid, a complete (100%) protection against leptazol-induced convulsion, and a potentiation of the phenobarbitone sleeping time in mice.
