Objective: To evaluate the anti-arthritic potential of the plant Justicia gendarussa using two different rat models.
Materials And Method: The anti-arthritic potential of the alcoholic extract of the plant Justicia gendarussa was evaluated using the Freund's adjuvant-induced and collagen-induced arthritic rat models. The rats were treated with the ethanolic extract of Justicia gendarussa and with standard aspirin.
Results: The ethanolic extract of Justicia gendarussa showed significant anti-arthritic activity that was statistically similar to that of aspirin. Our results suggest that the alcoholic extract of Justicia gendarussa exhibits significant anti-arthritic potential.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the antioxidant potential of the plant Justicia gendarussa (gendarussa) and how different nitrogen fertilizer doses affect its biological activity and secondary metabolite production.
- Gendarussa has shown promising antioxidant activity, and while higher nitrogen doses increased plant weight, the optimal dose for enhancing metabolites was found to be 90 kg/ha, as indicated by metabolomics analysis.
- Various assays (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, CUPRAC) were utilized to assess antioxidant effects, revealing no significant differences across nitrogen treatments, and a total of 48 metabolites were identified, with Gendarusin A being a prominent one.

- Justicia gendarussa is a medicinal plant in Indonesia, and a study explored how different ratios of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilizers and manure affect its growth, photosynthesis, and yield.
- The experiment involved six treatments, and results showed that certain combinations, especially 10+50% manure and NPK, significantly improved growth metrics like height, leaves, and branches, as well as chlorophyll content.
- The best yields and sugar content were achieved with a combination of manure and NPK, highlighting the importance of choosing the right fertilizer ratios for optimal plant health.
