<title>EVALUATION PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING, ANALGESIC AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY (SYNERGIC ACTIVITY) OF HYDROALCOHOLIC EXTRACT OF COCCONIA GRANDIS </title>
<abstract>In the present study, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of  lessThan i greaterThan coccinia grandis lessThan /i greaterThan  whole plant was investigated. The hydroalcoholic extracts of  lessThan i greaterThan coccinia grandis  lessThan /i greaterThan whole plant were ingested orally (p.o.) in two different doses, 200 and 400 (mg/kg body weight). The anti-inflammatory effect of  lessThan i greaterThan coccinia grandis lessThan /i greaterThan  was tested in: carrageenan-induced paw oedema in wistar albino rats and compared with the standard, diclofenac (10 mg/kg body weight). The analgesic effect of the hydroalcoholic effect of  lessThan i greaterThan coccinia grandis  lessThan /i greaterThan was evaluated in Swiss albino mice by usingEddys hot plate method and compared with the standard, aspirin (25 mg/kg body weight). The results showed that  lessThan i greaterThan coccinia grandis lessThan /i greaterThan  has significant reduction (p.0.01) in inflammation (200 mg/kg body weight) and (400 mg/kg body weight) as compared to the standard drug, diclofenac. In assessing analgesic effects, there is a significant (p lessThan  0.01) reduction in the paw licking for (400 mg/kg) and diclofenac (10 mg/kg) when compared to control. These results expressing that the extracts would possess analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. All these effects and the changes in the behavioural activities could be suggested as contributory effects to the use of  lessThan i greaterThan coccinia grandis lessThan /i greaterThan  whole plant in the management of inflammation and painful conditions.</abstract>
