Anticonvulsant, Anthelmintic and Antibacterial activity of Lawsonia inermis
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Lawsonia inermis L. is a branched glabrous shrub or small tree, cultivated for its leaves although stem bark, roots, flowers and seeds have also been used in traditional medicine. In the present study anticonvulsant, anthelmintic and antibacterial activity of chloroform, ethanol and water extract of Lawsonia inermis has been carried out. Anticonvulsant activity was performed using electroshock method, anthelmintic assay using adult earthworm Eicinia fetida and antibacterial activity was determined by cup-plate agar diffusion method. The phytochemical study of extracts shows the presence of flavonoids, tannins and coumarin. The activity may be due to these compounds. This study shows the anticonvulsant activity, anthelmintic activity and antibacterial activity of henna leaves.
