ABSTRACT:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anthelmintic activity of ethanolic and methanolic extracts of bark of Saraca asoca Roxb. using Pheretima posthuma as test worms. In order to compare the activity with piperazine citrate as a reference standard, the paralysis and death times were examined. The ethanolic and methanolic extracts of bark of Saraca asoca Roxb. showed a considerable anthelmintic effect as measured by a reduction in the time it took to paralyse and die. The results thus support the use of Saraca asoca Roxb. as an anthelmintic agent. Alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, and flavonoids appear to be the phytoconstituents with anthelmintic activity.
