Abstract:

Abutilon indicum Linn. (N.O. Family Malvaceae) is traditionally used for the treatment of gonorrhoea, haematuria, urethritis, chest infections, piles, ulcers and fever. Petroleum ether, ethanolic and water extracts of root were studied for analgesic activity on Swiss albino mice using Tail Immersion and Writhing Methods. Aspirin was used as reference standard. The present study indicates that all the extracts of root of Abutilon indicum Linn., possess significant analgesic activity.
