The methanol extract of Crinum asiaticum bulb was evaluated for its antinociceptive properties on the pain induced by acetic acid and formalin in Swiss albino mice. The bulb extract at a dose of 1, 1.5 and 2 g/kg produced an inhibition of 40.71, 56.42 and 68.57% on pain induced by acetic acid and at a dose of 1.5g/kg & 2g/kg produced an inhibition of 60.0 and 67.0% on that induced by formalin. The anti‐inflammatory activity of the same extract was estimated volumetrically by measuring the mean increase in hind paw volume of carrageenan‐induced Wistar albino rat with the help of plethysmometer. Oral administration of bulb extract at a dose of 1.5g/kg & 2g/kg showed the highest inhibition 52.56% and 47.37%, respectively, at the 3rd hour of administration whereas at a dose of 1g/kg showed 37.5% inhibition at the 4th hour. Diclofenac sodium at a dose of 40 mg/kg was used as a standard drug in the inhibition of acetic acid and formalin induced pain as well as in carrageenan‐induced paw edema.
