Antioxidant, Hepatoprotective, and Anthelmintic Activities of Methanol
Extract of Urtica dioica L. Leaves“Anthelmintic activity of the methanol extract was also investigated using adult Indian earth worms (Pheretima posthuma) and the results revealed a dose dependent increase in anthelmintic activity of the extract at 25, 50, and 100 mg/mL concentrations. “
In the conclusion:
“The
present study also clearly indicated the traditional ethno
medical claim of the plant as anthelminthic and also its use
in hepatopathy. We have already undertaken a further investigation on the isolation and identification of compounds
related to the antioxidant, hepatoprotective and anthelminthic
activity in this plant, which may lead to new chemical leads
with potential for clinical use and further investigation.”https://benthamopen.com/contents/pdf/TOPHARMCJ/TOPHARMCJ-3-38.pdf
