IN VITRO ANTHELMINTHIC ACTIVITY OF CALOTROPIS PROCERA (AIT.) R. BR. LEAVES

Objective: Helminthiasis affects over two billion people worldwide, particularly in the tropical region. A number of medicinal plants have been usedto treat parasitic infections in man and animals. In the present study, the anthelminthic potential of Calotropis procera (Ait.) R. Br. leaves extract wasevaluated.Methods: The ethanolic extract of Calotropis procera (Ait.) R. Br. leaves was separated into n-butanol and water fractions. The n-butanol fractionwas subjected to column chromatography. Ethanolic extract, n-butanol, and water fractions as well as n-hexane, chloroform, chloroform: methanol(9:1); chromatographic elutes of n-butanol fraction were evaluated for in-vitro anthelmintic activity using Indian earthworm Pheretima posthuma asa experimental models.Results: The results indicated that ethanolic extract, water fraction, n-hexane, and chloroform elutes showed better activity as compared to n-butanolfraction and chloroform: methanol (9:1) elute of Calotropis procera (Ait.) R. Br. leaves.Conclusion: The present investigation is the scientific validation of the anthelmintic activity of C. procera (Ait.) R. Br. leaves in view of its usage inethnoveterinary practice. It is suggested that further research is required for identification of active principles.Keywords: Calotropis procera, Chromatographic elutes, Pheretima posthuma, Anthelmintic activity

The Parliamentary Form Of Government In India And Its Challenges

A government through representation and discussion is fundamentally what is meant by parliamentary government. It includes compromise and reciprocal giving and taking. It is a form of government that assumes a certain level of fundamental agreement regarding the basic organisation of society as well as faith in the progressive evolution of society.
