Evaluation of Analgesic potential of extracts of the fruits and roots of Solanum melongena.

Abstract

It is a vegetable that may be found all year round and is readily available. There have been a great number of studies carried out on the fruit, as well as its peel, crown, and leaves. For this reason, it was essential to conduct research on the phytochemical and pharmacological activity of each and every component of Solanum melongena. Attempts were made to attain standardisation by conducting research on every facet of Solanum melongena, including both macroscopic and microscopic examinations. First and foremost, the establishment of the botanical quality control for any crude pharmaceutical is the initial step that must be taken before moving on to further study. According to the findings of a qualitative chemical test that was carried out on numerous extracts of Solanum melongena, it was discovered that several fractions of the root, leaf, stem, aerial part, and fruits included alkaloids, phenols, sugars, flavonoids, and sterols. According to the findings of the current research, the root and fruit extracts of Solanum melongena, both in aqueous and ethanolic forms, have the potential to alleviate pain.
