A. excelsa (1050x7days or 10,50 and100mg/kg, po single dose ), pretreatment time , 60 min showed significant sub-acute anti-inflammatory protection against Cotton pellet induced granuloma formation, no analgesic activity, pentobarbitone induced sleeping time reduced insignificantly, decreased swim stress immobility in mice indicating some degree of antidepressant activity. A. excelsa exhibited significant inhibitory activity against castor oil –induced diarrhoea and significant reduction in gastrointestinal motility in the activated charcoal meal in rats.
