| Article Name : | | | ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC BUD EXTRACT OF SYZYGIUM AROMATICUM AGAINST PHERETIMA POSTHUMA | | Author Name : | | | R. N. Patil , J. S. Kadam , J. A. Chavan , A. J. Salunkhe | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-3249 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The aim of the present study was to investigate anthelmintic potential of ethanolic bud extract of Syzygium aromaticum by using Pheritma posthuma as test worms.Three concentrations (2.5 , 5 and 10 mg/ml) of etahnolic bud extracts of S.aromaticum were tested in the assay. Albendazole (20 mg/ml) was used as a standard reference and distilled water as a control.The time of paralysis and the the time of death of worms were considered as the parameters to asses the anthelmintic action. It was noticed in the investigation that the time of paralysis and the death of worms was dose dependent and was much earlier in all three test concentrations of ethanolic bud extract of S. aromaticum as compared to Albendazole (Standard). From the result it is concluded that the ethanolic bud extract of S.aromaticum is much potent anthelmintic natural source which might be helpful against the helminthes infection. | | Keywords : | | |
