Evaluation of in-vitro anthelmintic activity of Heliotropium indicum Linn. leaves in Indian adult earthworm

Evaluation of in - vitro anthelmintic activity of Heliotropium indicum Linn . leaves in Indian adult earthworm

In helminthiasis disease, a part of the body is infested with worms such as pinworm, roundworm or tape worm. Typically, the worms reside in the gastrointestinal tract but may also burrow into the liver and other organs[1]. Although the majority of infections due to worms are generally limited to tropical regions, they can occur to travelers who have visited those areas and some of them can deve...

In-Vitro Anthelmintic Activity of Luffa cylindrica Leaves in Indian Adult Earthworm

Different extracts of L. cylindrica were taken for anthelmintic activity against Indian earthworm Pheretima posthuma. Two concentrations (50 and 100 mg/ml) of various extracts were tested and results were expressed in terms of time for paralysis and time for death of worms. Albendazole (20 mg/ml) was used as reference standard and carboxy methyl cellulose (0.5%) as a control group. Dose depende...

Evaluation of in-vitro Antioxidant and Anthelmintic Activity of Solanum indicum Linn. Berries

Studies on Wound Healing Activity of Heliotropium indicum Linn. Leaves on Rats

The petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol, and aqueous extracts of Heliotropium indicum Linn. (Family: Boraginaceae) were separately evaluated for their wound healing activity in rats using excision (normal and infected), incision, and dead space wound models. The effects of test samples on the rate of wound healing were assessed by the rate of wound closure, period of epithelialisation, wound ...

In vitro Evaluation of Anthelmintic Activity of Nauclea orientalis Leaves

Antianthelmintic activity of successive extracts (chloroform, acetone, ethanol and aqueous) of Nauclea orientalis leaves were evaluated separately on adult Indian earthworm (Pheretima posthuma) and compared with that of albendazole. It was found that the extracts exhibited, respectively dose-dependent action and inhibition of spontaneous motility (paralysis) and death of earthworms. The results...
