This work evaluated the local anaesthetic activity of milky latex obtained from Calotropis gigantea using three different experimental models in frog and Guinea pig. The latex at dilution 1:10 showed the anaesthetic activity compared to the standard drug xylocaine (0.2%). The methods used are nerve block or lumbar plexus anaesthesia and muscle twitch in frog, infiltration anaesthesia in Guinea pig. It was concluded that latex of Calotropis gigantea (1:10 dilution ) exhibited significant local anaesthetic activity.Keywords

The present work describes the potentiation of local anesthetic activity exhibited by milky latex obtained from Calotropis gigantea, with epinephrine and pH. The milky latex at a dilution of 1:10, exhibited significant local anesthetic activity. Both epinephrine (5μg/ml) and pH of 7.2 prolonged the duration of local anesthetic activity. The method used is infiltration anesthesia in Guinea pig. In conclusion, the duration of the effect produced by combination of Calotropis gigantea latex and epinephrine was longer than the combination of latex and pH as well as latex alone.Keywords

The anti-ulcer activity aqueous extract of leaves of Coccinia grandis was investigated in pylorus ligation and ethanol induced ulcer models in experimental rats. In both models the common parameter determined was ulcer index. Aqueous extract of Coccinia grandis at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg produced significant inhibition of the gastric lesions induced by pylorus ligation induced ulcer and ethanol induced gastric ulcer. The extract (250 mg/kg&500 mg/kg) showed significant (P<0.05) reduction in gastric volume, free acidity and ulcer index as compared to control. This present study indicates that aqueous extract of Coccinia grandis have potential antiulcer activity in the both models. These results may further suggest that the extract was found to possess antiulcerogenic as well as ulcer healing properties, which might be due to its antisecretory activity.Keywords
