ABSTRACT
Worm infection is one of the diseases that affect food production and have an economic impact in tropical regions, including Indonesia. Control of worm infections still largely relies on synthetic anthelmintic drugs. Currently, researchers are starting to look for new anthelmintic compound candidates derived from natural materials that have been empirically proven to have anthelmintic effects. This is done to replace anthelmintic drugs that currently have many side effects. Scientific tests have demonstrated the anthelmintic activity of several native Indonesian medicinal plants, such as Tamarindus indica, Psidium guajava, Moringa oleifera, Camellia sinensis, Annona muricata, Myrtus communis, and Syzygium samarangens, through different mechanisms. Therefore, this review article discusses the potential of several native Indonesian medicinal plants that have anthelmintic effects.
Keywords: Anthelmintic, Medicinal plants, Tamarindus indica, Psidium guajava, Moringa oleifera, Camellia sinensis, Annona muricata, Myrtus communis, Syzygium samarangens.
