Successive extraction by different solvents was carried out, followed by phytochemical screening to determine the type of constituents present in different extracts. Isolation of phytoconstituents by column chromatography was carried out with methanol extract. The isolated compounds were characterized by U.V. IR, NMR and LCMS. Results of anthelmintic activity indicated that ethanol and pet-ether...
