초록

The present study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic activity of ethanolic extract of Andrographis paniculata (AP) in mice. The analgesic investigations were carried out using the acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing and the hot-plate tests. It was demonstrated that intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of the extract at a dose of 30, 100, 300, 500 mg/kg, produced significant inhibition of abdominal constriction induced with 0.6% (v/v) acetic acid in dosedependent manner. It also demonstrated that the extract produced significant dose-dependent increase in the time of latency to a discomfort reaction in the hot-plate model. In addition, the analgesic effect of the ethanolic extract of AP was significantly reversed by a non-specific opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone. These results indicate that AP has an analgesic effect that was mediated through opioid receptors.
