Abstract
Aim: To analyse the COX2 inhibitory activity of Abutilon indicum. Objective: The main objective of this study is to analyse the COX2 inhibitory activity of Abutilon indicum Background: Prostaglandins are important mediators of the body’s response to pain and inflammation, and are formed from essential fatty acids found in cell membranes. This reaction is catalysed by cyclooxygenase, a membrane associated enzyme in two isoforms-COX-1 and COX-2. Abutilon indicum,commonly known as the Indian mallow is well known for its therapeutic values and further study of its COX-2 inhibitory activity is beneficial. Conclusion: Medicinal plants and shrubs which have little or no side effects have to be further investigated. Further study on its COX-2 inhibition will increase its therapeutic value also as an anti-inflammatory with added benefits.
