In vitro anthelmintic potentials of Xylopia aethiopica and Monodora myristica from Nigeria

African Journal of Biochemistry Research, 2012
Monodora myristica and Xylopia aethiopica are two spices that have been traditionally used as a vermifuge in Ayurveda. The main aim of the research work was to investigate the phytochemical constituents of the aqueous, ethanol and methanol extracts of the two spices and the anthelmintic activity of the extracts of their seeds against Eudrilus eugeniae.
