Pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Inflammation is a response to noxious or injurious stimuli, characterized by warmth, redness of the skin, pain, swelling and loss of function. Skeletal muscle relaxants are drugs that are used to relax and reduce muscle tension. They act as both antispasmodic and anti-spasticity agents. Nycthanthes arbortristis flowers consist of essential oils, Nyctanthin, D-mannitol, tannins, flavonoids, glucose, Quercetin, Kaemferol, Apigenin, Anthocyanin, carotenoids, and glycosides and found to have analgesic and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the skeletal muscle relaxant activity and analgesic activity of ethanolic extract of the flowers of Nyctanthes arbortristis (ENATF) using Rota-Rod method and hot plate method. High doses of ENATF (500mg/kg) showed highly significant reduction in the time spent by the animals on the revolving rod when compared to the control (P<0.0001). ENATF at all the doses (250mg/kg and 500mg/kg) showed highly significantly (P<0.0001) increased pain latency thermally induced by hot plate method. Thus, the result suggested that the ENATF possess skeletal muscle Relaxant activity and analgesic activity may be due to presence of different chemical compounds present in the extract.
