Screening of antibacterial and anthelmintic potentials of Tamarindus indica and Carica papaya
Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The present study was aimed to evaluate the antibacterial and anthelmintic evaluation of methanolic and aqueous extracts of leaves of Tamarindus indica, latex of Carica papaya. The antibacterial activity was evaluated by cup diffusion method against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Methanol extract of Carica papaya latex showed maximum activity against Bacillus subtilis (IZ: 29±0.35mm; AI: 1.318). The anthelmintic profile of various extracts of leaves of Tamarindus indica, latex of Carica papaya showed that aqueous extracts of Tamarindus indica greater potency to produce paralysis earlier than other extracts.
