    ANTI-BACTERIAL, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND SAFETY STUDIES OF CINNAMON OIL IN RATS
    (Department of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2019) Prajapati Jaiminkumar Arvindbhai; Dr. A. M. Thaker
    Screening of cinnamon oil for antibacterial activity was done by the disc diffusion method. It was performed using an 18 h culture at 37°C in 10 ml of Muller Hinton Agar (for S. agalactiae 5% defibrinated sheep blood was added). The test suspension was standardized to match 0.5 McFarland turbidity standard. The Cinnamon oil was suspended in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide with tween 80. Under aseptic condition, empty sterilized discs were impregnated with 50 μl of different concentrations (1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:10 and 1:20) of the respective Cinnamon oil and placed on the agar plate surface. Paper disc moistened with aqueous DMSO was placed on the seeded petriplate as a vehicle control. Standard disc containing antibacterial drugs (cefotaxime, ampicillin, tetracycline and gentamicin) were used as reference control. The petri plates were incubated at 37°C for 18 h. After the incubation period, the zone of inhibition was measured.
