Abstract
Antipyretic activities were determined by the D-Amphetamine induced pyrexia and Brewer’s Yeast induced hyperpyrexia methods. Anti-inflammatory activities were investigated using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method. Antinociceptive activities were determined by mechanical nociception in the tail pressure and thermal nociception in the radiant heat tail flick and hot plate methods. Data was analysed using the one way ANOVA followed by Neuman-Keuls multiple comparison test.
Best percentage inhibition of induced pyrexia (amphetamine/brewer’s yeast;
Anti-inflammatory studies revealed paw edema inhibition (%) as follows (
Antinociceptive studies revealed significant (
The results obtained suggest that the constituent plants possess biologically active compounds with antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. These activities are essential in the symptomatic treatment of malaria fever, thereby justifying the folk use of

<abstract id="Abs1"><sec><title>Background</title>
<p><italic>Nefang</italic>
is a polyherbal anti-malarial composed of <italic>Mangifera indica (</italic>
<bold><italic>MiB</italic>
</bold>
and <bold><italic>MiL</italic>
</bold>
; bark and leaf), <italic>Psidium guajava (</italic>
<bold><italic>Pg</italic>
</bold>
<italic>), Carica papaya (</italic>
<bold><italic>Cp</italic>
</bold>
<italic>), Cymbopogon citratus (</italic>
<bold><italic>Cc</italic>
</bold>
<italic>), Citrus sinensis (</italic>
<bold><italic>Cs</italic>
</bold>
<italic>)</italic>
and <italic>Ocimum gratissimum (</italic>
<bold><italic>Og</italic>
</bold>
<italic>)</italic>
(leaves). Previous studies have demonstrated its in vitro and in vivo antiplasmodial activities, antioxidant properties and safety profile. This study aimed at evaluating the antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of the constituent plants of <italic>Nefang</italic>
which are relevant to the symptomatic treatment of malaria fever.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Methods</title>
<p>Antipyretic activities were determined by the D-Amphetamine induced pyrexia and Brewer’s Yeast induced hyperpyrexia methods. Anti-inflammatory activities were investigated using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method. Antinociceptive activities were determined by mechanical nociception in the tail pressure and thermal nociception in the radiant heat tail flick and hot plate methods. Data was analysed using the one way ANOVA followed by Neuman-Keuls multiple comparison test.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Results</title>
<p>Best percentage inhibition of induced pyrexia (amphetamine/brewer’s yeast; <italic>p</italic>
< 0.05) was exhibited by <italic>Cc</italic>
(95/97) followed by <italic>Og</italic>
(85/94), <italic>MiL</italic>
(90/89), <italic>MiB</italic>
(88/84) and <italic>Cs</italic>
(82/89). <italic>Cc</italic>
and <italic>Og</italic>
exhibited comparable activities to paracetamol (100/95).</p>
<p>Anti-inflammatory studies revealed paw edema inhibition (%) as follows (<italic>p</italic>
< 0.05): Indomethacin (47), <italic>MiL</italic>
(40), <italic>Cp</italic>
(30), <italic>MiB</italic>
(28) and <italic>Og</italic>
(22), suggesting best activity by <italic>MiL.</italic>
</p>
<p>Antinociceptive studies revealed significant (<italic>p</italic>
< 0.01) pain inhibition (%) as follows: Paracetamol (97), <italic>Og</italic>
(113), <italic>MiL</italic>
(108), <italic>Pg</italic>
(84) and <italic>MiB</italic>
(88). <italic>Og</italic>
and <italic>MiL</italic>
exhibited the best activities.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Conclusion</title>
<p>The results obtained suggest that the constituent plants possess biologically active compounds with antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. These activities are essential in the symptomatic treatment of malaria fever, thereby justifying the folk use of <italic>Nefang</italic>
. This would be useful in its subsequent development for clinical application.</p>
