A study on presence of bioactive compounds in snail Achantina fulica
Journal Title: Journal of Applied and Natural Science - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The bioactivity study of the crude extract as well as the pure compounds isolated by preparative TLC, of the snail were carried on bacteria, Escherichia coli PBR 322, Vibrio cholerae and cockroaches Periplanata americana. The growth of the bacteria was found to be inhibited and the cockroaches in moribund condition were found to be dead after a period of 24 hrs of incubation. The results concluded that the extract of the snail contained the bioactive compounds.
