Implication

In vitro assays demonstrate antioxidant and anthelmintic effects of Tithonia diversifolia extracts against gastrointestinal nematodes, highlighting bioactive potential.

Key Points

  • The study shows that Tithonia diversifolia extracts have noteworthy antioxidant and anthelmintic properties.
  • Total polyphenolic content was evaluated alongside antioxidant activity, emphasizing the plant's bioactive compounds.
  • In vitro assays were utilized, specifically through methods like the egg hatching assay for assessing anthelmintic activity.
  • These findings support the exploration of Tithonia diversifolia as a natural alternative for controlling gastrointestinal nematodes.
