The development of anthelmintic resistance and high cost of conventional anthelmintic drugs led to the evaluation of medicinal plants as an alternative source of anthelmintics. Traditional medicines act as a source of easily available effective anthelmintic agent. In the current study, In vitro experiments were conducted on Indian adult earthworms (Pheretima posthuma) to determine the possible ...

The Anthelmintic activities of methanolic and aqueous extracts of stems of Achyranthes aspera linn. were evaluated separately on Indian adult earthworms Pheretima posthuma (Annelida). For this work the stems were extracted separately with methanol and distilled water by following maceration method. Various concentrations (2.5, 5, 10, 20 mg/ml) of each extract were tested for anthelmintic activi...

Various extracts of Sarcostemma viminale were screened for central analgesic activity by hot plate test, peripheral analgesic activity by acetic acid-induced writhings, CNS depressant activity by pentobarbitone-induced sleep and locomotor activity testing methods and anthelmintic activity on the earthworms Pheretima posthuma . Results showed that petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extracts h...

A series of novel 1[5"-(2"'-substituted phenyl)-4",5"'-dihydro isoxazole-3"-yl]-3-[(4 substituted phenyl)imino]1-3-dihydro-2H-indole-2-one were synthesized from different substituted chalconised indole-2,3-dione was prepared from the different chalconised Isatin. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by elemental and spectral (IR, (1)H NMR, and MS) analysis. The synthesized compounds ...

The World Health Organization estimates that a staggering two billion people harbor parasitic worm infections. Parasitic worms also infect livestock and crops, affecting food production with a resultant economic impact. In view of this, an attempt has been made to study the anthelmintic activity to validate the Eritrean unorthodox medicines. In this study, aqueous extracts of Acacia etbaica, Co...
