Abstract
W. tinctoria, an Indian herb Indrajao, has significant therapeutic potential. While studies have highlighted the anti-inflammatory potential of the leaves and bark of this plant, similar efficacy of the seed-pods remains unexplored. We demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory effects of the hexane fraction (Fr-B) of ethyl acetate extract of the seedpods in reducing lipopolysaccharide and palmitate mediated inflammation in RAW264.7 macrophages and HepG2 cells. GC-MS and NMR profiling of Fr-B revealed the existence of hexadecanoic acid, ethyl hexadecanoate, 9,12-octadecanoic acid, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid ethyl ester, ethyl linoleate and octadecanoic acid ethyl esters.
