Abstract
The aim of the present research work is to evaluate pharmacognostic features, anti- inflammatory and analgesic activity of Tageteserecta. In the present study, Micro and Macroscopic features of fresh and dried root samples were explored and colour, shape, size, odor, and surface features had been observed from the root and then powder root material of Tagetes erecta plant. Light electron microscope i.e. Olympus CX-21i trinocular Microscope images of cross section of root and powdered root revealed that the existence of cork cells, Xylem fibers with tapered ends, lignified xylem vessels, phloem fibers, medullary rays, sclerides and parenchymatous cells. Phytochemical testing revealed the existence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, phenols, steroids, acid compounds, glycosides, amino acids, and proteins.Methods: Rats Were Divided into 10 Groups of 6 Animals of Each.TheAntiinflammatoryActivityWasStudiedwithCarrageenanInducedRatPawEdemaModels. The analgesic activity was evaluated using tail flick and eddy’s hot plate model. The ethanolic extract of Tagetes erecta whole plant preparations were compared with indomethacinein. Physicochemical parameters including moisture content, ash value, extractive value and fluorescent behavior of root powder had been identified and ethanolic extract of Tagetes erecta suppresses the first phase of carrageenan-induced paw edema.
