- Abstract
This paper reviews anthelmintic activity of Bauhinia purpurea leaves extract. The extract of Bauhinia purpurea leaf was isolated from water, methanol and chloroform. Albendazole, methanol, chloroform and water were used during experimental protocol Extraction of plant leaves are carried out by using soxhlet apparatus and aqueous extraction is done by using maceration technique. It was evaluated for anthelmintic activity on Earthworm. The result obtained from experimental data, showed significant anthelmintic activity against Earthworms. Screening of plant extract was performed for complete death and paralysis of worms. The result shows a dose dependent increase in activity of the extract at 5, 10 and 20 mg/ml concentration. Results were comparable along the standard drug albendazole. The Bauhinia purpurea leaf shows the potent anthelmintic activity and has good action on worms. By experimentation, it is concluded that it has potential to paralyze and kill the parasitic worm.
