COMPARATIVE ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY OF PIPER BETLE LINN. & MORINGA OLEIFERA
Sonalkar M. Y.* and Nitave S. A.
ABSTRACT
The study was designed to evaluate to anthelmintic properties of ethanolic and aqueous extract of Piper betle Linn. and Moringa oleiferaby using pheritima posthuma as a test worms. All test sample taken at same concentration ie. (20, 40, 60, 80, 100mg/ml) were tested on indian earth worms (pheritima posthuma), paralysis time & death of time were consider as assessment of anthelmintic activity. The albendazole 40mg/ml & normal saline solution were used as a standard & control respectively. The phytochemical testing of Piper betle Linn. & moringa oleifera done & it showed that Piper betle Linn. contain, Saponin, glycoside, Alkaloid, Tannin & Moringa oleifera contain Alkaloid, Flavonoid, Saponin, Steroid and Tannin. It was noticed in this investigation that the time of paralysis & death of worms was the dose dependent & it was much earlier in case of Piper betel than in Moringa oleifera. Keywords: Piper betle Linn., Moringa oleifera, Pheritima posthuma. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
