| Abstract: | The research work covers the phytochemical
screening and Analgesic studies of the root bark of
Hymenocardia acida, Tul, (Euphorbiaceae) which
is claimed by the Hausa in the Northern Nigeria to
be used traditionally for the treatment of
headache, chest-pain, rheumatic pain, toothache,
ear pain, migraine and sickle cell crisis. The
various phytochemical tests revealed the presence
of carbohydrates, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids,
saponins and cardiac glycosides. The result of
analgesic activity of the extracts showed a
significant and dose dependent analgesic activity
when compared to the untreated control group at
P<0.05. This justifies the use of the plant in ethnomedicine
for the treatment of headache, chest
pain, rheumatic pain, toothache, ear pain,
migraine and sickle cell crisis. |
