EVALUATION OF PHARMACOGNOSTICAL, PHYTOCHEMICAL, PRELIMINARY, ANTHELMINTIC AND ANTI-OXIDANT POTENTIAL OF LEAF OF EUPHORBIA HIRTA LINN
AbstractTo evaluate the Pharmacognostic properties, phytochemical screening, anthelmintic and anti-oxidant potential of the leaves of Euphorbia Hirta Linn. Microscopic and macroscopic characteristics of fresh and dried leaf samples were analysed. serial exhaustive extraction was done with various of solvents: Aqueous, Methanol, using Soxhlet apparatus. Physicochemical parameters such as moisture content, extractive values, ash content of leaf powder were also determined. The results revealed that the leaves extracts contain carbohydrates, alkaloids, steroids, Saponins, terpenoid, flavonoids etc., The results of anthelmintic study indicated that the methanolic and aqueous extracts significantly exhibited paralysis (P<0.01) in worms in lower doses (5, 10 and 15 mg/ml) and also caused death of worms especially at higher concentration of 15mg/ml, as compared to standard drug. These studies may be helpful for identification of Euphorbia Hirta Linn plant. This phytochemical may be responsible for the therapeutic activity of the plant. Further it useful for researcher.
