- Intervention effect The ethanolic extract of Zanthoxylum chalybeum inhibited 93% of Ascaris suum worm motility 48 h post exposure, compared with the negative control.
- Observation The ED50 of the ethanolic extract of Zanthoxylum chalybeum was 30.85 mg/ml.
- Observation The ED50 of the aqueous extract of Zanthoxylum chalybeum was 6.28 mg/ml.
- Intervention effect Zanthoxylum chalybeum extracts inhibited motility dose-dependently, with significant differences between dose levels compared with the negative control.
