ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition and anti-inflammatory activity of the root extract of Rhynchosia beddomei. The roots of R. beddomei were subjected to extraction using a suitable solvent, and the resulting extract was assessed for its potential anti-inflammatory properties. Preliminary phytochemical screening was carried out to identify the presence of various secondary metabolites in the extract. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of a diverse range of secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids. These bioactive compounds are known for their pharmacological significance and have been associated with various therapeutic properties. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory activity of the root extract was evaluated using in vitro and/or in vivo experimental models. The extract exhibited significant anti-inflammatory effects, as evidenced by the suppression of inflammatory markers and mediators. This anti-inflammatory potential could be attributed to the presence of bioactive phytochemicals in the extract. In conclusion, the root extract of R. beddomei demonstrated promising anti-inflammatory activity, likely due to its rich phytochemical composition. These findings highlight the potential of R. beddomei as a source of natural antiinflammatory agents. Further investigations are warranted to isolate and identify specific bioactive compounds responsible for the observed anti-inflammatory effects and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms
