Abstract
Traditional medicine has made use of a herb known as Anisomeles
malabarica. Medicinal plant extracts and their components have been shown
to be biodegradable, and their effects are similar to those of prescription
drugs. Anisomeles malabarica (Family - Lamiaceae) is a medicinal plant
found in tropical and sub-tropical regions of India that is used to treat a
wide range of disorders such as dementia, anorexia, allergies, cancer, and
inflammatory diseases. Malaria is one of the main causes of direct or indirect
infant, child, and adult mortality in the tropics, accounting for two to three
million new cases annually, mostly in India. More potent antimalarial drugs
with broad host specificity are required. Helminthic infections can damage
millions of livestock and result in a large financial loss in domestic animals.
Worldwide, helminthic illnesses are managed with synthetic drugs. Although
these drugs are highly effective in treating helminthiasis, they also have a
number of unfavorable side effects. Larvicidal activity is an important
consideration when testing mosquito larvae against Anisomeles malabarica
methanolic extract at different dosages.
