The crude methanol extract of the leaves of Trevesia palmata was partitioned with nhexane,
ethyl acetate, chloroform and water for biological investigation. Methanol
extract of Trevesia palmata was assessed for in vitro thrombolytic and anti-arthritic
activity. Anti- arthritic activity was evaluated using albumin denaturation. Diclofenac
sodium (D.s.) was used as a standard drug for the study of anti-inflammatory activity.
The methanol extract of Trevesia palmata showed mean inhibition of protein
denaturation 89.24±0.6584 at 1000µg/ml whereas, standard diclofenac sodium it was
found to be 96.77±1.1404. In thrombolytic activity using in vitro clot lysis assay
method, the ethyl acetate soluble fraction (LEAF) and n-hexane soluble
fraction(LHXF) of leaf extract was found to have significant (p<0.001), thrombolytic
activity showed a maximum effect of 44.293±0.5069 & 44.211±0.7428 while the
standard streptokinase showed 71.668±0.466.
