An Approach to Explore Anthelmintic Activity of Erythroxylum monogynum Leaves in Pheretima posthuma as test Worm

Different extracts of Erythroxylum monogynum were explored for anthelmintic activity on Pheretima posthuma (earthworm). Two concentrations (50 and 100 mg/ml) of different extracts of E. monogynum were experienced and outcomes were under as paralysis and death times of P. posthuma. Albendazole (20 mg/ml) and Piperazine citrate (10 mg /ml) were adopted as standards and carboxy methyl cellulose (0.5%) as a control. The dose-dependent activity was experiential with methanolic extract than hydroalcoholic extract. The authors conclude the anthelmintic activity of E. monogynum leaves extract.
