R. Meghalatha*, S. Nataraj and M. Krishnappa
ABSTRACT Different solvents(Petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol) extracts offruiting body of Phellinuslinteus had been evaluated separately for anthelmintic activity on adult Indian earth worms, namely Pheretimaposthuma. Three concentrations (20, 40 and 60 mg/ml) of various extracts were tested andresults were expressed in terms of time for paralysis and time for death of worms.The results revealed that the methanolic extract showed excellent anthelmintic activity at a concentration level of 60mg/ml on time taken for paralysis (30.12 min) and death (65.82 min) of the worms. Activities on further comparison with the standard drug Piperazinecitrate (10 mg/ml), the methanolic extract showed a significant effect as compared to others.
