Role of secondary metabolites of medicinal plants againstAscaridia galli

Amphimas pterocarpoides harms.: An Evaluation of flavonoid and phenolic contents, wound healing, anthelmintic and antioxidant activities of the leaves and stem bark

“…Interestingly, APL (6.25 mg/mL) caused death of worms at the 93 rd minute better than albendazole (10 mg/mL) which caused death at 117 th minute. The anthelmintic effect of medicinal plants has been attributed to constituents such as terpenoids, alkaloids and polyphenols particularly tannins [ 43 , 44 ]. Tannins, have been shown to possess significant anthelmintic activity against a wide range of nematodes through interactions with proline-rich proteins on the worm cuticle or gastrointestinal tract interfering with worm motility, feeding and absorption of nutrients in the intestines [ 45 ].…”

“…Saponins are generally known to interact with cell membrane causing changes in membrane permeability resulting in possible alteration of some biological functions [ 26 , 46 ]. Alkaloids may affect the central nervous system resulting in paralysis and death of worms [ 43 ]. The occurrence of these phytochemicals in the leaves and bark of A. pterocarpides may influence its anthelmintic effect.…”

Nutritional Supplements for the Control of Avian Coccidiosis – A Review

“…Herbal extracts have been used for flavorings, beverages, fragrances, cosmetics, agriculture, and medicine as insecticides, antiparasitics, bactericides, fungicides, since ancient times (Bakkali et al, 2008;Abbas et al, 2010;Djilani and Dicko, 2012;Hanif et al, 2019;Zaman et al, 2020;Ashraf et al, 2021;Bosila et al, 2021;Sobhy et al, 2021;Sayyar et al, 2021;Štrbac et al, 2021;Ali et al, 2022;Nawaz et al, 2022;Okonkwo and Achilike, 2022). Recently, the utilization of herbal extracts, especially essential oils as a treatment alternative gained massive importance in the medical field (Turek and Stintzing, 2013;Baz et al, 2021;Rizwan et al, 2022;Salman and Imran, 2022).…”
