EVALUATION OF ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF THREE MEDICINAL PLANTS OF BANGLADESH
AbstractThe development of anthelmintic resistance and the higher expense of traditional anthelmintic medications caused the Zingiber stigation of medicinal plants as a potential substitute of anthelmintics, utilizing the P. posthuma adult earthworm. The present investigation focuses on the anthelmintic potential of three traditionally used plants of Bangladesh: Zingiber officinale (family: Zingiberaceae), Momordica charantia (family: Cucurbitaceae), and Moringa oleifera (family: Moringaceae) at all tested concentrations (25 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml, and 100 mg/ml), the extracts showed anthelmintic activity. The greatest effect was seen at 100 mg/ml. At higher concentrations, Momordica charantia (Korola) showed the strongest anthelmintic effect among the plants, followed by Zingiber officinale (Ada) and Moringa oleifera (Sajna pata). The traditional use of these plants as natural anthelmintic agents is supported by these results.
