- Abstract
The present study deals with pharmacognostical, phytochemical and anthelmintic evaluation of entire plant of Leucas indica. This evaluation reveals the presence of many phytochemical constituents. Entire plant was extracted with petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol. Crude tannins were isolated from methanol extract and evaluated for anthelmintic activity. Chloroform methanol and crude tannin extracts showed very good activity. Paralysis and death time of crude tannins were very close to standard drug Albendazole.
