Among these alternatives are several medicinal plants traditionally used as anthelmintics. This present work evaluated the efficacy of ethyl acelate, acetone, and methanol dried leaf {and seed extracts of five medicinal plants were tested in vitro ovicidal and larvicidal activities on Haemonchus contortus. The in vitro assay was based on egg hatch assay (EHA) and larval development assay (LDA), all plant extracts were evaluated at five concentrations 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 3.13 mg/ml. The leaf and seed ethyl! acetate, acetone and methanol of Annona squamosa, Eclipia prostrata, Solanum torvum, Terminalia chebuia, and Catharanthus roseus extracts were showed complete inhibition (100%) at the maximum concentration tested (50 mg/ml). The overall findings of the present study have shown that our experimental plant extracts contain possible anthelmintic compounds.

In addition, the extracts were subjected to a detalled analysis on cytotoxic effects toward a panel of human cancer cell lines, designed as a smaller version of the NCI60 screen. Intriguingly, 15 plant extracts exhibited strong cytotoxic effects specific for only one cancer cell line. Extracts of the leaves of Acalypha grandis Bets. significantly affected Plasmodium falciparum without showing obvious effects against the other protozoa tested. The leaves of Gyrocarpus americanus Jca. displayed significant activity against Trypanosoma b. brucei and the leaves of Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Laut. | as well as the stems of Macropiper latfolium (\..) against Trypanosoma cruzi. In contrast none of the extracts showed relevant antibacterial or antifungal activity. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. eta
