EVALUATION OF ANTI PSORIATIC ACTIVITY OF KARANJIN OIL
Abstract
Psoriasis is defined as a type of severe inflammatory and autoimmune skin disease, caused due to genetic and natural/surrounding factors and the most successful way to tackle this disease is topical treatment. To examine potency of the herbal drug in the cure of psoriasis like lesions on mice skin is the core objective of this study. Imiquimod model of psoriasis was used in the evaluation of the drug and the qRT-PCR was done to check cytokines concentration in the blood serum of psoriasis induced mice. The drug karanjin oil was proved to have anti-psoriatic activity.Â
