There are various components to an inflammatory reaction that can contribute to the associated symptoms and tissue injury and these include Oedema formation, leukocyte infiltration and granuloma formation. Anti-inflammatory activity of the polysaccharide isolated from Ulva fasciata was analysed by carrageenan induced acute paw Oedema and formalin induced chronic paw Oedema. The isolated polysaccharide showed anti-inflammatory activity. Keywords: Ulva fasciata, Sulphated Polysaccharide, Paw Oedema, Anti-inflammatory Activity
