ABSTRACT

The present research work is about phytochemical investigation and anthelmintic activity of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves. Standardization of crude drug extracted from plant plays an important role in identifying the quality and purity of drugs. Phytochemical constituents are extracted by aqueous and ethanolic extracts from Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves belonging to the family Moraceae. This research find highlights that aqueous extracts of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves had the highest number of phytochemicals. The aqueous extract of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves holds the greatest potential to treat various human diseases and has profound medical applicability. In-vitro anthelmintic activity was evaluated by taking adult Indian earthworms, Pheretima posthuma having anatomical and physiological resemblance with intestinal roundworms. The earthworms were washed in normal saline solution before they were placed in of respective formulation. Keywords: Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves, Phytochemical screening, Pheretima posthuma, Piperazine citrate
