Effect of Some Plants Extracts on the Viability of Protoscoleces in Vitro

This study was conducted to evaluate the protoscolicidal effect of four plants alcoholic extracts on protoscoleces of the parasite Echinococcus granulosus in vitro. The plants that had been used in this study were: Viscum album (Mistletoe) and Prunus armeniaca (Apricot bitter kernels) with concentr...

description This study was conducted to evaluate the protoscolicidal effect of four plants alcoholic extracts on protoscoleces of the parasite Echinococcus granulosus in vitro. The plants that had been used in this study were: Viscum album (Mistletoe) and Prunus armeniaca (Apricot bitter kernels) with concentrations of 375, 750 and 1500 mg/ml, also Syzygium aromaticum (Clove flower buds) and Capsicum frutescence (Chili pepper) with concentrations of 375, 750 and 1500 µg/ml. All extracts were treated at four periods (15, 30, 45 and 60 min.). In vitro, the high percentage of protoscoleces killing was observed in V. album alcoholic extract (80.7%) in the high concentration 1500 mg/ml at 60 min., and the lowest percentage of protoscoleces killing (62%) was in the concentration 375 mg/ml at 15 min. • armeniaca alcoholic extract high percentage of killing (70.2%) was also at the high concentration 1500 mg/ml at 60 min., and the lowest percentage of protoscoleces killing (50.4 %) at the concentration 375 mg/ml at 15 min. The high percentage of protoscoleces killing of alcoholic extract of S. aromaticum (73.7%) was at the concentration 1500 µg/ml at 60 min. and the lowest percentage (58.7%) was at the concentration 375 µg/ml at 15 min. • frutescence alcoholic extract high percentage of protoscoleces killing (71.4 %) was at the concentration 1500 µg/ml at 60 min. and the lowest percentage (40.6 %) was at the concentration 375 µg/ml at 15 min.
