Abstract
Aims: Rhododendron campanulatum D. Don is a plant of Ericaceae family that is found at an altitude of 3000-4200 meters. Traditionally, it has been used to cure rheumatism, hemicranias, sciatica and colds. This study aims to determine analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities and effect on gastrointestinal motility, brain function and skeletal muscle of Rhododendern campanulatum extracts in mice. Methodology: Pharmacological activities were evaluated in mice. Analgesic activity was determined by hot plate and chemical writhing methods; anti-inflammatory activity by ability to cure carrageenan induced paw edema; effect on gastrointestinal motility by charcoal meal assay, effect on brain function by locomotor activity and skeletal muscle relaxant activity by traction test. Results: Methanol extract from R. campanulatum increased the response time of mice from 6 secs
