ABSTRACT
Inflammation is reactive by pathogens, toxic chemical and mechanical agents, and autoimmune responses, inflammation is the composite process throughout which the body repairs tissue damage and defends itself against harmful agents. Skin is the external surface which comes on contact with the environment and protecting the human body from unfavorable external causes. The use of medicinal and therapeutic plants in treatment of inflammatory diseases shows the results plant are good source of the potent bioactive compounds like alkaloids, flavonoids and glycosides etc. There are various different types of climbers and twiners plants which grown in the nature and they are good sources of the medicinal properties. The proposed study is based on the studies of different types of climber and twiner plants grown in particular area which is West Champaran, Information was collected with questionnaires with the local people of different place like; Bettiah, Nautanwa, Ram Nagar, Balmiki-nagar etc. belonging to district of West Champaran proposed research site used by the local people to treat different types of inflammatory disease. The study focused on determining the quantitative phytochemical profile of medicinal plant like Quisqualis indica L. and the role of anti-inflammatory diseases on this medicinal plant. The extracts from plants were obtained by Soxhlet extraction method and the phytochemicals were identified by standard protocol The result of biological activity analysis demonstrates that the extracts are capable of carrying out the reasonable activity. The HPLC {High Performance Liquid Chromatography} analysis showed the presence of bioactive compound quercitin {flavonoid} in the extracts, which depict that the extracts may possess a good anti-inflammatory property too.
