Pharmacological rational of dry ripe fruit of Aegle marmelos L. as an anti-nociceptive agent in different painful conditions.

The aim of study is to investigate central and peripheral analgesic effects of methanolic extract of dry ripe fruit of Aegle marmelos Linn. Corea (Am. Cr) by two methods, tail flick test and acetic acid induced writhing test at 100, 250 and 500mg/kg doses in animal models.

Synthesis and smooth muscle-selective relaxant activity of a piperidine analogue: 1-(4'-fluorophenacyl)-4-hydroxy-4-phenyl-piperidinium chloride.

The antispasmodic and vasodilator activities of a newly synthesized piperidine derivative (1-(4'-fluorophenacyl)-4-hydroxy-4-phenyl-piperidinium chloride) were studied in vitro. The test compound exhibited a dose-dependent relaxant effect on the spontaneous and K+ (75 mM)-induced contractions of isolated rabbit jejunum with respective EC50 values of 0.01 mM (0.
