| Abstract | The crude ethanolic extract of the bark of Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou (Family: Rhizophoraceae) was evaluated for its possible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities in different methods. At the dose of 400 mg/kg body weight, the extract showed a significant anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced oedema test in rats showing 67.72% reduction in the paw volume (P < 0.01) comparable to that produced by the standard drug indomethacin (69.29%) at 24 h. The percentage inhibition of the oedema paw volume by the 400 mg/kg body weight of the extract was also statistically significant ($^{*}$ P < 0.05 and $^{**}$ p < 0.01) compared favorably with the indomethacin treated animals at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 h. Three complementary test systems for determining the antioxidant activities of the ethanolic extract of C. decandra, namely DPPH free radical scavenging, reducing power, total phenolic contents determination were used for the analysis. In DPPH free radical scavenging test, IC$_{50}$ value for the ethanolic crude extract was found fairly significant (12.90 μg/ml) while compared to the IC$_{50}$ value of the reference standards ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxy anisole (2.9372 and 4.81 μg/ml) respectively. In reducing power test the absorbance for ethanolic extract was found to be 1.0900 at 100 μg/ml concentration while compared to 2.8111 and 1.0314 for standard ascorbic acid and BHA respectively at the same concentration. The amount of total phenolic content was also determined and calculated as quite high in the ethanolic extract (309.86 mg/g of gallic acid equivalent). Therefore, the obtained results tend to suggest the probable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of the ethanolic extract of C. decandra bark and justify its use in folkloric remedies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
