Study on the anti-arthritic effects of Tinospora sinensis Merr.

The Tinospora sinensis Merr. was ultrasonically extracted using 80% ethanol at a temperature of 50°C. The resulting solution was distilled to remove the solvent under reduced pressure, yielding the extract. The extract was then dissolved in distilled water, and this solution was administered to the experimental mice. The results showed that even at the maximum allowable dose, no mice experienced mortality.
