Objective:To explore the efficacy of ethanolic leaf extract of Typhonium trilobatum L.Schott in treating diarrhea,pain and inflammation using experimental models.Methods:In the present study,acetic acid-induced writhing,xylene-induced ear edema and castor oil-imluced diarrlieal model were used to evaluate the analgesic,anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal activities,respectively.Acute toxicity test was carried out to fix the safe doses of the plant extract.Results:The plant extract demonstrated a significant inhibition of writhing(P<0.01)compared with the control group in acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice.The extract also significantly inhibited the xylene induced ear edema formation(P<0.05).In anti-diarrheal test,the extract significantly decreased the frequency of defecation and increased the mean latent period(P<0.0l)in castor oil-induced diarrheal model mice at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight.Conclusions:These results suggest that the extract possesses significant analgesic,anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal activities that support to the ethnopharmacologicl uses of this plant.

Methods: In the present study, acetic acid-induced writhing, xylene-induced ear edema and castor oil-imluced diarrlieal models were used to evaluate the analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal activities, respectively. Acute toxicity test was carried out to fix the safe doses of the plant extract. Results: The plant extract demonstrated a significant inhibition of writhing (P < 0.01) compared with the control group in acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice. The extract also significantly inhibited the xylene induced ear edema formation (P <0.05) .In anti-diarrheal test, the extract significantly decreased the frequency of defecation and increased the mean latent period (P <0.01) in castor oil-induced diarrheal model mice at doses of 250 and 500 mg / kg body weight. Conclusions: These results suggest that the extract possesses significan t analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal activities that support to the ethnopharmacologicl uses of this plant.
