Abstract
possess significant analgesic, antiarthritic, and anti-inflammatory activity. However, nanoparticles possess more pronounced antiarthritic activity as compared to the aqueous extract. Moreover, free radical scavenging action and TNF-α reduction showed a prominent role in their antiarthritic activity. Further, investigation is underway to identify the active phytochemical constituent responsible for the antiarthritic activity.
