Abstract
Plan: Traditionally in India and China, Psoralia corylifolia seed decoction used for treating psoriasis. However, the antipsoriatic activity of Psoralia corylifolia seeds has not been scientifically evaluated using mouse tail model.
Methodology: Ethanolic extract of Psoralia corylifolia seeds were analyzed by high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) .The In vivo antipsoriatic activity of 95% of ethanolic extract of Psoralia corylifolia seeds was done by using mouse tail model for psoriasis and In vitro antipsoriatic activity was carried out by Sulphorhodamine B (SRB)assay using HaCaT human keratinocyte cell lines.
Outcome: HPTLCfingerprinting revealed the presence of gallic acid. The ethanolic extractshown IC50 255 μg/ml, with goodantiproliferant activity when compared with Asiaticoside as positive controlwith potent IC50 value of 20.13 μg/ml.Psoralia corylifolia seed extract showed an overall antipsoriatic activityof 75.87%, when compared with standard tazarot gel activity 87.94% by using mouse tail model, confirmed itstraditional use in psoriasis treatment.
Keywords: Psoralia corylifolia, Antipsoriatic activity, Cytotoxicity, SRB Assay,Mouse tail model.
