Inflammation has previously been connected to immune system function and infections. However, more recent studies suggest that a far greater variety of illnesses may display obvious indicators of inflammation. Inflammation serves as the main mechanism for tissue repair after an injury. The phytochemical and anti-inflammatory properties of Prosopis Cineraria were assessed in the current setting. Prosopis Cineraria a tropical plant that is frequently used to cure and relieve a variety of diseases in traditional medicine. Belongs to the family Fabaceae or Leguminosae .It is utilised by indigenous healers to treat a variety of conditions, such as gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and cardiovascular issues. This work aims to demonstrate scientifically the anti-inflammatory activities of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Prosopis cineraria flowers. In vitro inhibitory assays for cyclooxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, protein denaturation, extracellular ROS generation, and cell proliferation were used to assess the anti-inflammatory characteristics. According to this study, aqueous and ethanolic extracts at a concentration of 1000 g/ml prevent protein denaturation, cyclooxygenase activity , and 5-lipoxygenase activity.. For the treatment of inflammatory illnesses, Prosopis cineraria would consequently be a particularly promising source.
