    Author: Anbu JS, Jayaraj P, Varatharajan R, Thomas J, Jisha J, Muthappan M.
    Journal: Afr J Tradit Complement Altern Med; 2009 Jul 03; 6(4):529-33. PubMed ID: 20606773.
    Abstract:
    The ethanol and water extracts of Sansevieria trifasciata leaves showed dose-dependent and significant (P < 0.05) increase in pain threshold in tail-immersion test. Moreover, both the extracts (100 - 200 mg/kg) exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of writhing and also showed a significant (P < 0.001) inhibition of both phases of the formalin pain test. The ethanol extract (200 mg/kg) significantly (P < 0.01) reversed yeast-induced fever. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the extracts showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, terpenoids, tannins, proteins and carbohydrates.
