Background: Epipremnum aureum (Family Araceae) commonly known as Money plant is a vigorously growing in India. It is a common indoor plant generally used for ornamental purposes having indoor air pollution removing capacity. The preliminary phytochemical studies of the aqueous and alcoholic extracts of the leaves showed the presence of various phytochemical constituents such as alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, triterpenoids, and saponins. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study was carried out with the objective of phytochemical screening and to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic of aqueous and alcoholic extract of E.aureum in albino rats. Materials and Methods: Albino Wistar rats (100–150 g body weight) were used in this study. Aqueous and alcoholic extract of Epipremnum aureum was used to evaluate acute anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity by plethysmometer and hot plate method by oral administration at doses of 200 mg/kg body weight in healthy albino rats. Results: In acute studies, the aqueous and alcoholic extract showed anti-inflammatory activity by significant reduction in the paw edema volume, and significantly increased the latency of paw licking in hot plate method in a dose-dependent manner when compared with the control and standard drug. Statistical analysis was carried out by one-way ANOVA test. Conclusion: Thus, the positive results suggest that Epipremnum aureum extracts should be further studied to determine the bioactive chemical compounds as well as to understand the possible mechanism of action and evaluate their toxicity looking towards pharmaceutical actions.
