ABSTRACT:
The simplest way to control a life-threatening infection in humans and other living stalks is to use potent Anthelmintic medication, but there are few Anthelmintic medications on the market, and those that are available cause resistance during treatment in most helminth species. As a result, we will test the Anthelmintic properties of Omakai seeds for controlling life-threatening infections in humans and other living stalks. The Omakai seeds were saved for extraction, and the heat maceration process was used. The resulting extract was submitted to phytochemical screening, with tests for alkaloids, saponins, tannins, anthraquinone glycosides, reducing sugar for glycosides, and flavonoids performed according to standard technique. For the in vitro Anthelmintic investigation, we created a suspension of our crude extract at a dosage of 200 mg/ml with chitosan HCl as a thickening agent, and Pyrantel Pamoate was utilized as a standard. Phertima posthuma was employed in Anthelmintic research due to its morphological and physiological similarity to the roundworms found in the colon. The Omakai seeds were saved for extraction, and the heat maceration process was used. We obtained a 99% yield from the pure water (powder) sample, 82% from the 70:30 HA sample, and 0% from the pure isopropyl alcohol sample. Phytochemical screening followed normal procedures. Our crude extract contained alkaloids, tannins, saponins, glycoside reducing sugars, and flavonoids, but no anthraquinone. The sample of pure water (powder) exhibits the least period of paralysis and death, and when compared to the reference standard Pyrantel Pamoate, there is only a difference of 12 seconds for paralysis and 20 seconds for worm death. We concluded that our assessment was successful since the average time of paralysis and death for extract of pure water (powder) was the shortest when compared to other extracts, and when compared to Pyrantel Pamoate, there was a difference of 12 seconds for paralysis and 20 seconds for earthworm death.
