Abstract
To evaluate the anthelmintic activity of ethanolic extract of leaves of Antigonon leptopus. The activity was carried out on adult Indian earthworm (Pheretima posthuma) and leech (Hirudo medicinalis). In this study, 20 mg/ml, 40 mg/ml, 60mg/ml, 80mg/ml, 100mg/ml, 120mg/ml and 140mg/ml concentrations of plant extract were tested which involved the time of paralysis and time of death. Piperazine citrate (10mg/ml) was taken as a reference standard drug whereas distilled water was referred as a vehicle. The extract exhibited significant anthelmintic activity which was more in higher concentration extract. So it was concluded from the present study that the plant of Antigonon leptopus exhibited significant anthelmintic activity.
