PLANT SEEDS USED FOR ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY:A REVIEW
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Parasitic infections are most widespread among humans. The present study deals with a review on plant seeds which have been scientifically evaluated for in-vitro anthelmintic activity for supporting their folklore use as traditional medicine. There are 30 plant seeds so far have been reported for the in-vitro anthelmintic activity. The families of the plants have also been reported in which Fabaceae was found as most common plant family. Combretaceae, Meliaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Myrsinaceae and Anacardiaceae families were also found possessing anthelmintic activity. The current review also clears the picture about choosing the parasites which have been used for the activity. Ascaris Sp (35%), such as Ascaris lumbricoides, Ascaris suum etc, Ascardia Galli (29%), Tapeworm (18%), Earthworm i.e. Pheritima posthuma (18%), Nippostrongyllus braziliensis, Haemonchus contours, Roundworms, Trichostrongylus colubrifromis etc have been reported as different targeted parasites for the evaluation of anthelmintic activity. This review on the plant seeds which have been used in antelmintic activity will help in ethnopharmacology by evaluating possible molecular level mechanism and isolation of active constituents by chromatography.
