Randomized trial evaluates antiarthritic activity of Lagerstroemia speciosa extracts, suggesting potential therapeutic use.

This study aims to evaluate the antiarthritic activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Lagerstroemia speciosa.
Plant collected and powdered; extracts were prepared using aqueous and ethanolic methods.
Both extracts were concentrated and assessed for their ability to inhibit protein denaturation at 660 nm.
Efficacy compared to standard drug diclofenac sodium.
Ethanolic extract exhibited a significant percentage inhibition of protein denaturation compared to the aqueous extract.
Ethanolic extract was found to be equally effective as diclofenac sodium.
The efficacy varied with different concentrations of the extracts.

Chouksey* et al. (2026) studied this question.
