Abstract

Mimusops elengi (M. elengi) which belongs to the family Sapotaceae. The paper presents the physicochemical and anthelmintic studies of bark of Mimusops elengi Linn. The present investigation has been undertaken with an objective to establish physico- chemical parameters standards, and invitro anthelmintic activity for Mimusops elengi Linn. bark so that authentic plant material could be explored properly for its traditional claims. The present study will provide the information in respect of its identification and its activity on against Pheretima posthuma and Ascardia galli.

Keywords: Mimusops elengi Linn. Bark, Physico-chemical, Fluorescence, phytochemical, Pheretima posthuma and Ascardia galli.
