dc.description.abstractSome native doctors practising the traditional system of medicine in Sri Lanka recommend leaf extracts of Murraya koenigii Spreng. Sy.st. Veg. (Family Rutaceae; known as karapincha in Sinhala and karuvembu in Tamil) for the relief of pain associated with abdominal colic. Thus it is possible that these leaves possess potent analgesic activity, but this has not been evaluated scicnlihcally. Furthermore, if [he presence of potent aminuciccpli vc activity in the leaves of M. koenigii is proven scicnlifically, then it could be used as a potential natural source for the development of novel analgesic drugs. Virtually every pharrnacological class of drug includes a natural product prototype, most frequently plantderived [1], The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic activity of a water extract of mature leaves of M. koenigii in both males and females using tail flick [2] and hot plate [2] paradigms.
