THE A.NTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY OF HUNTERIA UMBELLATA K SCHUM (FAM. ApOCYNACEAE) EXTRACTS
Keywords:
Hunteria umbellata, Helminthiasis, Aqueous extracts, Methanolic extracts.Abstract
Aqueous and methanolic extracts of the leaves, seeds and stem bark of Hunteria umbel/ala. K. Schum, were tested for
anthelmintic activity. The extracts of the leaves, seeds and stem bark have significant anthelmintic activity when compared
with normal saline which acted as control. The methanolic extract of the stembark had the highest activity for all the
extracts. However, the activity of the aqueous extract of the seeds was more effective than the aqueous extract of the leaves
and stembark.
