Anthelminthic analysis of two local weeds of Punjab viz. Trianthema portulacastrum L. and Zaleya pentandra (L.) C. Jeffrey
Abstract
The two plants of family Aizoaceae, Trianthema portulacastrum L. and Zaleya pentandra (L.) C. Jeffrey were compared from anthelmintic perspective. The process of steady-state maceration was used for the extract preparation and established that more phytochemical contents were macerated in fruit extract of T. portulacastrum L. andZ. pentandra (L.) C. Jeffrey. The dose-dependent anthelmintic appraisal carried out employing Haemonchus contortusat four concentrations (10, 20, 50 and 100mg/mL) render the stem macerates of T. portulacastrum L. and the fruit extracts of Z. pentandra (L.) C. Jeffrey most effective. Piperazine was used as a reference standard at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. Conclusively, the results of both plants under inquisition were relatable in some aspects but none of the test specimen outperformed other.
