Antipyretic activity of roots of Cicer arietinum Linn
ABSTRACT
Cicer arietinum Linn belonging to family Leguminosae is commonly used in
the traditional system of medicine for the treatment of antibacterial,
anti fungal, anti pyretic, anti diarrhoeal etc. In the present study, we investigated
the anti pyretic activities of the Hydro alcoholic extract, acetone fraction and
methanol fraction of the roots of this plant. The anti pyretic activity of the hydro
alcoholic extract and its acetone and methanol fraction was studied based on
the basis of their effect on Brewer’s yeast-induced pyrexia in rats.
