The leaves of Spilanthes acmella Murr. have been used traditionally as tonic and in the treatment of rheumatism, gout, sailagogine and claimed to possess immunostimulant activity. In the present study, the ethanolic extract (500mg/kg bwt p.o.) of its leaves was evaluated for immunomodulatory activity using various models like modulation of macrophage function (morphometric and functional changes in mice), carbon clearance assay with the help of Indian ink dispersion (0.5ml/100g bwt i.v.) in…

COMPARISON OF IMMUNOMODULATORY ACTIVITY OF ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA AND TINOSPORA CORDIFOLIA

It is concluded that Andrographis paniculata exhibited best immunostimulant potential, indicating that it has promising immunomodulatory activity, as proposed from commercial point of view.

Immunomodulation Potential of Andrographis Paniculata and Tinospora Cordifolia Methanolic Extracts in Combination Forms

Results suggest that although all the five tested combinations prepared using different proportion of methanol extracts of A. paniculata and T. cordifolia showed a significant increase in macrophase count, neutrophil adhesion, haemagglutinating antibody titre and delayed type hypersensitivity response, combination DC-II exhibited best immunostimulant potential, indicating that it has promising immunomodulatory activity.
