Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the anthelminthic activity of Ludwegia perennis leaf extracts.. The leaves were made free from dust and foreign material and dried powdered and extracted by successive solvent extraction using different solvents like petroleum ether, n-hexane, ethanol and water. Phytochemical screening was carried out for the detection of phytoconstituents. The paralysis and death time were determined at the concentrations of 25mg/ml, 50mg/ml and 100mg/ml. The extracts of the Ludwegia perennis leaves have shown significant anthelminthic activity at concentrations of 25mg/ml, 50mg/ml and 100mg/ml compared with Albendazole as standard drug. The results from the study conclude that the Petroleum ether extract of Ludwegia perennis leaves exhibit more potent anthelmintic effect while the other extracts showed slightly less activity compared to that of Albendazole.
