Medicinal plants are extensively used in folk medicine for treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. The secondary metabolites, which are present in medicinal plants such as flavonoids, terpenoids, xanthones and coumarins, are responsible for anti-inflammatory activities by targeting arachidonic acid dependent and independent pathway. Based on the invitro and invivo anti-inflammatory studies ethanopharmacologists screened the various medicinal plants for their anti-inflammatory activities. The selected medicinal plants further subjected to activity guided fractionation.  The bioactive fractions were further subjected to structural elucidation studies for characterization of bioactive compounds. 
Keywords: Anti-inflammatory agents, cyclooxygenase (COX-2), Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), phytocompounds, Reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidants, activity guided fractionation
