Abstract

Brine shrimp lethality bioassay is a standard method to investigate cytotoxicity of herbal extracts. This method is cost effective hence easily employed in vitro to check the larvicidal efficacy of the plant extract. Acacia catechu commonly known as karungali in Tamil is a deciduous tree possesses immense pharmacological actions. It has lots of nutritive and medicinal value. Hence, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the larvicidal activity of Acacia catechu bark extract.
