AIM: To find the anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet aggregatory activity of human placental extract (HPE, Placentrex).METHODS: The HPE was studied for anti-inflammatory effect in Wistar rats on carrageenin, serotonin (5-HT),and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) induced edema in acute model and cotton pellet induced granuloma on sub-acutemodel. Anti-platelet aggregation was studied against protection of adinosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced aggrega-tion of human platelet through in vitro study. RESULTS: HPE showed positive results both in acute and sub-acutemodels of inflammation. Highly significant (P<0.01) results were obtained against 5-HT induced acute inflamma-tion and cotton pellet induced sub-acute inflammation in comparison with standard (diclofenac sodium) and control(normal saline) drugs. The anti-inflammatory property of HPE in animal model was well supported with clinicalstudy of platelet aggregation. There was highly significant (P<0.01) inhibition of platelet aggregation with HPE atdifferent doses against ADP. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that human placental extract may be useful insuppressing inflammation and platelet aggregation.
