ABSTRACT
Physalis minima (solanaceae) is a annual herbaceous plant commonly found in tropical countries like India, Africa, Afghanistan, Srilanka and is an Ayurvedic plant with huge medicinal importance. The ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of Physalis minima plant were screened for phytochemical investigation and analgesic activity using hot plate method in albino wistar rats of either sex. The various doses used are 200mg/kg & 400mg/kg body weight of alcohol & ethyl acetate extract of Physalis minima showed comparable analgesic activity in hot plate method . The significant and nearlyequal activity was observed in ethyl acetate and alcoholic extract.
Keywords: Physalisminima, Analgesic activity, Hot plate method, Phytochemical Investigation.
