Anthum sowa plant was selected to investigate anti-inflammatory and diuretic property effect in experimental animal models. The dried powder was subjected to successive soxhlet extraction with ethyl alcohol. Ethanolic extract of A. sowa was orally administered to experimental in albino rats at doses of 400 mg/kg & 800 mg/kg. Furosemide (20 mg/kg) was used as positive control drug. Anthum sowa contained essential oils, fatty oil, moisture (8.41%), protein (15.62%), carbohydrate (36%), fiber (13.9%), ash (9.90%), furanocuomarin, polyphenols and minerals. The alcoholic extract of A. sowa was found to be significant inhibitory effect on the carreggenan induced edema in rats of all the doses (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight) tested on rats when compared to the normal saline control and standard indomethaethacin. It is clear that ethanolic extract of A. sowa have significant diuretic activity by increasing urine volume output (60%) and increased extraction of sodium, potassium and chloride levels (P<0.01) when compared to control.
