By: Annam Zikrea, Zaheer-Ud-Din Khan
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.
