ABSTRACT: Different extracts of Memecylon umbellatum Burm root were screened for Anthelmintic and anti-insect activities using Indian earthworms (Pheretima posthuma) and red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) respectively. The acetone and methanolic extracts exhibited significant (p<0.01) anthelmintic and anti-insect activities compared with the control and other extracts. Albendazole and Piperazine citrate were used as standards for anthelmintic activity while Neem Extract, Celphos (Aluminium phosphide) and citronellal for anti-insect activity. Chloroform, ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts showed weak activities. Acetone root extract showed most promising Anthelmintic activity at 20mg/mi compare to albendazole and insecticidal activity at 10mg concentration comparable to standard celphos (5%). Further investigations are however necessary to explore mechanism(s) of action involved in these pharmacological activities and constituents responsible for both the activities.
