In the present work aqueous fruit peel extract of Punica granatum was evaluated for its Anthelmintics activity against earthworm at three different concentrations (25, 50, 100 mg/ml). The Antihelmintic activity of extract was comparable with Marketed allopathic drugs (i.e. Piperazine citrate, Albendazole, Ivermectin, Levamisole- 25, 50, 100 mg/ml). 2% v/v Tween 80 in water was taken as a normal control. Marketed allopathic drugs concentrations were prepared using 2% v/v Tween 80. Antihelmintic activity was evaluated by considering the time required for mobility, paralysis and death of worms by the prepared extracts and marketed allopathic drugs concentrations. The data were found statistically significant by using one way ANOVA (P< 0.001).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
