The present investigation was aimed at investigating the Anti-helminthic activity of Tabernaemontana divaricata leaves.Leaves were collected from Husnabad village of Karimnagar district which were dried and made into the fine powder then subjected to soxhlation by chloroform and methanol as solvents.The preliminary phytochemical screening was performed for those extracts and results showed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, proteins, and amino acids.These extracts were screened for their antihelminthic activity against Indian earthworm Pheretima posthuma by using soxhlation extracts of chloroform and methanol.These extracts exhibited the dose dependent paralysis and death of earth worms.Among these methanol extracts was more effective in causing death of the worms as well as promoting paralysis.
