In the present study, the anti-inflammatory and membrane stabilizing property of Ethanol Extract of Cansjera rheedii J. Gmelin (EECR) was evaluated in rat using the Human Red Blood Cells (HRBC) membrane stabilization method and carrageenin-induced acute paw edema model. The extract in concentration of 6-100µg/ml showed a dose-dependent inhibition of haemolysis of erythrocytes induced by hypotonic solution.
