Leea indica is traditionally well-known for its versatile uses. The present study was carried out to evaluate the protective effect of methanolic extract of Leea Indica on DNBS (2, 4 dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid) induced inflammatory bowel disease in rats. Adult Wistar rats of either sex weighing 150-200 g were selected. Thirty animals were randomly divided into 5 groups each consisting of 6 animals. The period of experiment was of 12 days. Animals of Group I, Group-III, Group-IV & Group-V were given water, methanolic extract of Leea indica (200mg/kg & 400mg/kg) and sulfasalazine (360 mg/kg body weight) respectively once a day orally for 1st to 7th days. On 8th day of the study, DNBS solution (30 mg dissolved in 0.25 ml of 50% ethanol) was administered intrarectally to induce IBD in animals of Group-II to V, on same day & no treatment was given. Then from 9th to 11th day, they were again given treatment. On 12th day, blood was collected from all animals and sacrificed and dissected to isolate colon. Finally, macroscopic, microscopic and biochemical studies were carried out. At all the two doses, the methanolic extract of Leea Indica showed significant anti-inflammatory activity in experimental models. Results obtained in this study substantiate the anti-inflammatory effect of methanolic extract of Leea Indica roots.
