Evaluation of the anthelmintic effectiveness of Cinnamomum verum bark extract in mice naturally infected with Aspiculuris tetraptera: in vitro and in vivo

The health of the mice used in research experiments is critical to their performance in obtaining correct and accurate data. The current research was done to determine the anthelmintic action of Cinnamomum verum bark extracts (CVBE) in murine infection with Aspiculuris tetraptera. In vitro: The worms were divided into 6 groups: the 1^st control, 2^nd with 10 mg/mL of Albendazole as a reference drug, and the 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th groups were treated with 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/mL of CVBE, and the test was done at 15, 30, 60, and 120, minutes In vivo: Utilized was twenty-fi ve adult female (C57BL/6) murine, natural infections with A. tetraptera, were sectioned into fi ve treated, each containing 5 murine: 1^St, was the non-treated (negative control), and 2^ed was regaled 100 μg/mL. 3^rd was regaled 200 μg/kg of CVBE for 5 days. 5^th was infection and regaled 10 mg/kg mebendazole for 3 days. The GC-MS analysis of phytochemicals in CVBE alcoholic extract disclosed the availability of 20 effi cacious bioactive compounds accountable for worm death. Mortality was measured a dose- and time-dependent effects starting in 20, 40, 80, 120, and 180 mins. The death rate reached (96 % and 100 %) through 120 and 180 min at engagement 200 and 400 mg/mL of CVE. While the non-treated groups lasted many times without death. This study demonstrated that CVBE was effective and had potent anthelminthic activity.
