Anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-ulcer activities of aqueous lyophilizate of (Bignoniaceae).

Objectives: This work was carried out with a view to determining the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer properties of the aqueous lyophilized extract of .

Methods: proteinases inhibition, albumin denaturation, hemolysis of red blood cells by heat, inhibition of the proton pump H/KATPase, FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assays were performed. , cold water immersion-induced ulceration and methylene blue-induced ulceration was used to determine the anti-ulcer properties of the lyophilizate (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg).
