Abstract

The parasitic protozoa Leishmania belongs to the order Kinetoplastida and are the causative agents of disabling and incurable diseases known as leishmaniasis. In the given article we had done the in-vitro antileishmanial analysis of the plant P. longum with their phytochemical analysis we had first of all collected the plant and washed it properly with water then after we had washed several time with different solvent after that we had taken its ash value and foreign mater then after we had investigated it with In vitro anti-leishmanial activity of compounds on promastigotes and axenicamastigotes of P. longumand cell cytotoxicity of the compounds on J774A.1 cell line. Throughout the whole study we find the result more satisfying and it is also suggestive for further investigation.
