Abstract:

Development of resistant to most of commercially available anthelmintic became a sever problem worldwide. Pet ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Acmella paniculata were evaluated for there anthelmintic activity using Pheretima posthuma model (Indian earthworm). The preliminary phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids and tannins in whole plant. Three concentrations (0.075, 0.15 and 0.22w/v) of each extracts were used for this study involve the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worm.

Keywords:
