Abstract
THE various species of the genus Artemesia have been subjected to pharmacological investigation for the purpose of ascertaining their useful application as therapeutic agents. As there was no mention in the literature to the physiological activity of the santoninfree, Artemesia monosperma, Del.1, it was deemed of interest to investigate this common Egyptian desert plant for any possible anthelminthic properties. It was decided that investigations should be made in vitro to determine the effects of some preparations of the plant on both Ascaris and the intestine, and to show whether it possesses a vermicidal or vermifugal property.
