The present research work was dealing with the evaluation of the antiarthritic potential of M.concanensisleaves by using FCA induced arthritic animal model. The arthritis was induced by complete freund’s adjuvant method ad treated with ethanolic extract of M.concanensisleaves (EEMC). The body weight, paw volume, hematological parameters, liver function marker enzymes and the renal function markers of the arthritic rats and EEMC rats was analyzed by the standard methods. The new findings from the present study the ethanolic extract of M.concanensisleaves was showed a potent antiarthritic activity against FCA induced rheumatoid arthritis in experimental rats. Basedon the above findings, it was concluded as this research work may gives a clear understand on the antiarthritic activity of ethanolic extract of the leaves of MoringaconcanensisNimmo. This resultmay used in the further research and new findings in this plant.
