The aim of the study was to evaluate the possible analgesic, neuropharmacological and anti-diarrheal activities of methanol extract of leaves of Jatropha gossypifolia Linn. (Euphorbiaceae) in mice. Acetic acid induced writhing inhibition test was used to measure the analgesic activity of the extract. The neuropharmacological activity of the extract was assessed by hole cross, hole board and elevated plus-maze tests and the anti-diarrheal activity was evaluated by castor oil induced diarrhea inhibition test. The extract demonstrated highly significant (p<0.001) anti-diarrheal activity in castor oil induced diarrhea inhibition test. The present findings suggest that the plant possess significant analgesic, neuropharmacological and anti-diarrheal properties and could be a prominent source of medicinally importance phytoconstituents.
