The Impact of Qurecus Persica Stem Peel Secondary Compound Extracts on Enterobius Vermicularis Parasite in Vitro
Abstract
: Q. persica plant stem peel found in north region of Iraq and has active compound and also used in traditional medicine in ancient time. the present analysis was done to assess the impacts of cold as well as hot water extracts of Q. persica stem peel in the viability of E. vermicularis in vitro as well as detect the poignant plant for extraction secondary compound including alkaloids and phenolics to test in paralyze and killing of worms. The plant was purchased from Al-Hikma Herbarium, then the all extracts were prepared and experimented on this parasite, the results displayed that cold water extract of Q. persica stem peel have powerful impact especially the concentration of 60 mg/ml, in an average time (presented as mean± standared devision) for pinworms paralyzis and die equal to 143.66 ± 0.33 and 195.00 ± 0.57min, respectively, with a significant differences. Concentration 60 mg/ml of praziquantil drug was succeeded against the pinworms; it led to paralyze it in 180.00±0.57 mins, while the average time for causing death was 240.00± 0.57 i8 mins.In context of secondary compounds of Q. persica stem peel, a higher impact of phenolics on pinworms, it led to paralyzes and die at 80.00 ± 0.57 and 111.66±0.88 min, respectively, especially in 60 mg/ml concentration; the alkaloids come behind phenolics, it was leading to paralyzes and die with 60 mg/ml concentration at 211.0 ± 0.57 and 203.0 ± 0.57 min, respectively.
