In the present study, aqueous extract of leaves of Capparis zeylanica Linn, Annona reticulata Linn and Clerodendron phlomidis Linn were given at a dose of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg (p.o.).
The antipyretic activity was done after inducing hyperpyrexia by injecting subcutaneously 20% aqueous suspension of Brewer's yeast in rats. Rats developing 0.5° C-1° C or more rises in rectal temperature 18 h after injection were taken for study.
The results proved that the aqueous extract of leaves of Clerodendron phlomidis Linn and Annona reticulata Linn has significant antipyretic activity and were compared with paracetamol (150 mg/kg body weight, p.o.), a standard antipyretic agent. Aqueous extract of leaves of Capparis zeylanica Linn has not reduced elevated fever in experimental rats.

In this study, in vitro activity of were conducted to determine the possible anthelmintic activity of different solvent extracts like aqueous extract of leaves of cajanus cajan Linn, methanolic extract of leaves of vitex negundo Linn, Ethanolic extract of bark of Euphorbia tirucalli Linn and ethyl acetate extract of leaves of synadiium grantii Linn, methanolic extract of leaves of Euphorbia nerrifolia Linn against Indian worm Pheretima posthuma. With regard to effect of extract of Euphorbia tirucalli Linn, Euphorbia nerrifolia Linn, cajanus cajan Linn showed significant action on earthworm, vitex negundo Linn showed moderate activity. All the extracts were found not only to paralyse (vermifuse) but also death (vermicidal) except ethyl acetate extract of synadiumm graantii.Keywords
