Abstract
Ficus glomerata roxb latex is traditionally used in treatment of inflammation. Latex of Ficus glomerata Roxb was subjected to preliminary screening for anti-inflammatory activity in swiss albino mice. All doses of latex exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity comparable to the standard drug Indomethacin against xyline induced ear edema in mice method. Latex of plants showed local anti-inflammatory activity, compared with control.
