Anti-granuloma activity of Coriandrum sativum in experimental models.

Abstract
Coriandrum sativum has been used in the traditional systems of medicine for management of arthritis and other inflammatory disorders.In this study, we have evaluated the anti-inflammatory and anti-granuloma activities of Coriandrum sativum hydroalcoholic extract (CSHE) in experimental models.The anti-inflammatory activity of CSHE was evaluated using carrageenan-induced paw edema model and the anti-granuloma activity of CSHE was evaluated using the subcutaneous cotton pellet implantation-induced granuloma formation and stimulation of peritoneal macrophages with complete Freund's adjuvant. Serum tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), IL-6, IL-1 ß levels, and peritoneal macrophage expression of TNF-R1 were evaluated as markers of global inflammation.CSHE at the highest dose tested (32 mg/kg) produced a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in paw edema after carrageenan administration. CSHE treatment also reduced dry granuloma weight in all treated animals. Serum IL-6 and IL-1 ß levels were significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the CSHE (32 mg/kg)-treated group as compared to control. Although there was an increase in serum TNF-a level in the CSHE-treated group as compared to control, TNF-R1 expression on peritoneal macrophages was found to be reduced.Thus, the result of this study demonstrates the anti-inflammatory and anti-granuloma activities of CSHE in experimental models, and validates its traditional use for the management of arthritis and other inflammatory disorders.
