Abstract

The study was conducted to screen the antipyretic activity of alcoholic extract of the Fruits of Terminalia Pallida. Terminalia Pallida is a potent medicinal plant in the Indian systems of medicine. Traditionally it is used as a cardioprotective, antihyperlipidemic, antiatherogenic, anti-ulcer, etc. In the present study the alcoholic extract of the seed of Terminalia Pallida was studied for their antipyretic activity by milk induced pyrexia in rabbits. It was observed that the alcoholic extract produced significant antipyretic activity (p < 0.05). The extract showed marked antipyretic activity in a dose dependent manner.
