<p>This study investigated the effect of different extraction solvents on the phenolic contents (TPC), antioxidant activities, and anti-inflammatory potentials of dried-leaf extracts of Bryophyllum pinnatum <italic>Lam</italic>. The analyses were performed spectrophotometrically, using a Folin-Ciocalteau reagent for the estimation of the total phenolic contents. The ferric reducing power (FRP) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assays were carried out to assess the antioxidant activities of aqueous, ethanolic, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane extracts of the plant, whereas the stabilization of heat-treated albumin and inhibition of protease action were performed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory potentials of the extracts. The results obtained indicate that the solvent nature significantly influenced the amount of TPC, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials of the extracts.
