ABSTRACT:
Aqueous extracts of leaves of Cissus quadrangularis, Eclipta alba, Chrozophora rottleri and flowers of Luffa acutangula were investigated for anthelmintic property against Pheritima posthuma (Indian Earth worm). Different concentrations (25, 50 and 100 mg / ml) of each plants aqueous extracts were studied in a bioassay, which involved the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms. Piperazine citrate (10 mg/ml) was used as a standard reference drug. All the aqueous extracts of the three plants exhibited significantly anthelmintic activity against Pheritima Posthuma, but flowers of Luffa Acutangula demonstrated the best anthelmintic activity in both the parameters.
