Effects of Ethanol Extract and its Different Fractions of Phrynium imbricatum(Roxb.) Leaves on In Vitro Anthelmintic and their Condensed Tannin Content

Plant materials have been utilized for the treatment of serious diseases all through the world before the approach of advanced clinical medications. The utilization of therapeutic plants still assumes an essential part to cover the fundamental wellbeing needs in the developed countries . Most of the Phytochemical, secondary metabolites of plants, are physiologically active  and this metabolites are known as to give an achieve wellspring of natural, anthelmintic, antibacterial and insecticides [3].
