Studies
Anticonvulsant Activity:
Study showed the ethanolic extract of the leaves of A lebbeck exhibited anticonvulsant activity. The effect was attributed to the methanolic fraction of the chloroform soluble part of the extract which was also found to be anxiogenic and a general depressant of the central nervous system. (1)
Antimicrobial: Study screened the in vitro antimicrobial activity of Albizzia lebbeck against some pathogens isolated from diarrheal patients. Results showed the methanol extracts of AL was effective against E coli and Salmonella strains associated with infectious diarrhea. (2)
Phytochemical Screening: Study yielded the presence of alkaloids, tannins, carbohydrates, flavonoids, proteins and amino acids. (3)
Anti-Inflammatory: Study evaluated various solvent extracts for anti-inflammatory activity. A petroleum ether and ethanol extracts at 400 mg/kg showed maximum inhibition of inflammation induced by carrageenan, dextran, cotton pellet and Freund's adjuvant. Results supporting its folkloric use in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. (4)
Anti-Inflammatory / Analgesic: Study on AL extract demonstrated significant analgesic (acetic acid-induced writhing test and radiant heat tail-flick method) and anti-inflammatory (carrageenan-induced rat hind paw edema model) properties. (5)
Free Radical Scavenging Activity / Anti-Arthritic: Study of the methanol extract of AL which exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity was studied for its antioxidant potential in adjuvant-induced arthritic rats. Results concluded that Albizzia lebbeck ME possesses strong anti-arthritic and antioxidant properties. (6)
Review / Anti-Asthma: Albizzia lebbeck is included in a review of anti-asthmatic herbal drugs. The effect of the stem bark extract is attributed to a mast cell stabilizing activity. .

Anti-Allergic / Mast Cell Stabilizing: Study investigated the anti-allergic activity of the standard extract of AL with respect to catechin, a polyphenolic phytomarker. Results support the conclusion that AL has potent mast cell stabilizing property. The inhibitory potential of catechin could be due to modulation of two important effector functions- histamine release and cytokine expression of antigen-IgE activated mast cells. (9)
Immunomodulatory: The immunomodulatory effect of the bark of AL was evaluated studying humoral and cell mediated immune responses. The lebbeck treated mice developed higher serum antibody titers compared to the control group. Delayed type hypersensitivity response was suppressed in mice treated with AL extract.
(10)
Anti-Ulcer: Study showed the 70% ethanolic extract of the plant possesses antiulcer properties. The effect may be attributed to the polyphenolic compounds present in the plant. (11) Study evaluated the anti-ulcer activity of A. lebbeck bark extract against pyloric ligation induced gastric ulcers in rats. Results showed significant reduction in incidence of ulcers, with accelerated healing. The effect was comparable to standard drug Pantoprazole. The antiulcer property was attributed to gastric mucin protection and regeneration. (37)
