Ethanol extracts of Barleria courtallica stem, root and leaf were evaluated for its antiinflammatory activity at the doselevels of 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg body weight using a carrageenan induced paw edema method (acute inflammation).Results showed that all the studied ethanol extracts had potent and significant antiinflammatory activity. These resultswere also comparable with reference drug indomethacin
