The present study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of Ficus bengalensis leaf extract in rats using Eddy's hot plate method and formalin induced paw oedema model, respectively. The Ficus benghalensis methanolic leaf extract tested for anti-inflammatory activity, showed a significant (P<0.001) paw volume reduction at dose of 200 mg/kg and at 3 hours. The percent inhibition in paw volume was 65.21% at 200 mg/kg as compared to 62.31% of Diclofenac indicating the anti-inflammatory activity, in formalin-induced paw-edema model. The Ficus benghalensis leaf extract also demonstrated a significant (P<0.001) analgesic activity at both 100 and 200 mg/kg. Thus it can be concluded that the Ficus benghalensis leaf extract possess a potent analgesic and antiinflammatory activities as reflected by the parameters investigated, and demands further research to characterize the novel candidate.Keywords
