In present work, the methanolic extract of leaves of Hiptage benghalensis (MEHB) was screened for the analgesic (using hot plate test and acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice) and anti-inflammatory (using rat paw edema test) activity at the doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight. A significant (p<0.0005) analgesic effect was observed with 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg in both tests. The maximum anti-inflammatory response was produced at 3 hr and 2 hr with MEHB doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg of respectively. These results suggest that the methanolic extract of Hiptage benghalensis has exhibited significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, which were comparable with standard drugs. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol2no1/analgesic-and-anti-inflammatory-activities-of-leaf-extract-of-hiptage-benghalensis-l-kurz/ Hiptage benghalensis analgesic anti-inflammatory writings Carrageenan
