Table 7 Effects of C. renigera seed methanol and petroleum ether extracts in acetic acid induced writhing test

	Dose (mg/Kg)	Number of writhing responses	% Inhibition
Control	1% Tween 80 in water (10 mL/Kg)	12.60 ± 0.51	–
Diclofenac Na (Standard)	100	3.40 ± 0.24^{* d}	73.02
CRSM	500	7.60 ± 0.49^{* a,b}	39.64
CRSM	1000	5.20 ± 0.49^{* c,d}	58.73
CRSP	500	9.80 ± 1.46 ^a	22.22
CRSP	1000	6.80 ± 0.66^{* b,c}	46.03

Values are presented as mean ± SEM (n =5). One way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons was performed to analyze this data set; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant when compared against a control. One way ANOVA followed by LSD multiple comparisons was performed among the standard and the plant extracts. In this case values with different superscript in the same column are significantly different from one another (P < 0.05)
