Abstract

PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY OF INDIGOFERA TINCTORIA LINN

GUNASEKARAN BALAMURUGAN, SHINNARAJ SELVARAJAN

Extracts from the whole plant of Indigofera tinctoria Lin were investigated for their anthelmintic activity against Pheretima posthuma. Various concentrations (50 and 100 mg / ml) of each extract were tested in the assay, which involved the determination of paralysis time and death time of the organisms. The methanol extract exhibited a maximum anthelmintic activity comparable to standard drug Piperazine citrate (10 mg/ml). The petroleum ether and chloroform extracts exhibited a modest activity. The Preliminary phytochemical analysis indicated the presence of various phytoconstituents in all the tested extracts..
