Helminthiasis is a disease in which a part of the body is infested with worms such as pinworm, roundworm or tapeworm. Typically, the worms reside in the gastrointestinal tract but may also burrow into the liver and other organs. Rumex abyssinicus Jacq and Rumex nervosus Vahl (polygonaceae) is a large annual herb up to 4m high, leaves usually sagittate, inflorescence much branched, leafless pani...

The present study describes synthesis of a series of 2-phenyl benzimidazole-1-acetamide derivatives and their evaluation for anthelmintic activity using Indian adult earthworms, Pheretima posthuma. The structure of the title compounds was elucidated by elemental analysis and spectral data. The compounds 4-({[2-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl]acetyl}amino) benzoic acid (3a), N-ethyl-2-[2-(4...

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the anthelmintic activity of aqueous extract Ardisia colorata Roxb. leaves (AQEAC) using adult earthworms (Pheretima posthuman).
 Methods: total 24 were divided into four groups, with six worms in each group (n=6). AQEAC at two different doses (25 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml) was evaluated by assessing time paralysis (min) death earthworms. Albendazole used as ...
