Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by rapid proliferation of keratinocytes and incomplete keratinization. Discovery of safer and more effective anti-psoriatic drugs remains an area of active research at the present time. A431 and B16-F10 cell lines were used as in vitro models. In the present study, we aimed at assessing the Anti-psoriatic activity of aqueous extract of Acalypha indica. We analyzed the efficiency of A. indica leaf extract in inducing cell death and apoptosis in these cell lines. The cell death (Propidium iodide) and apoptosis (Annexin V) was assessed by fluorescence studies and we observed 80% of cell death and 75% of apoptosis in both cell lines. Therefore, this in vitro study suggested that the leaf extract is capable of serving as anti-psoriasis agent or compound.
