Abstract
Antiinflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities of glycosidal fraction isolated from M. chisia were compared in battery of animal tests with known nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The pharmacological activities compared favourably with NSAIDs whereas remarkable lack of toxicity was an added advantage.
