Abstract

The analgesic and the antipyretic activity of the methanol, chloroform, hexane and acetonitrile extracts of the aerial parts of Stachys schimperi Vatke were investigated in mice. The nociceptive response was tested using acetic acid-induced writhing and tail flick method; while hypothermia affect was examined via yeast-induced fever test. The chloroform extract at 500 mg and hexane and acetonitrile extracts at 250 mg produced significant analgesic and antipyretic activity.
