The fruits of &lt;em&gt;P. longum&lt;/em&gt; was identified and the accession number 006 was obtained. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, phenolics, diterpenes and triterpenes in extract and fractions of &lt;em&gt;P. longum&lt;/em&gt;. The extract and fractions were diluted serially in 6.25 per cent tween 80 to obtain concentrations of 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.63, 7.81, 3.91 and 1.95 mg/mL. Ivermectin and thiabendazole at 10 &amp;mu;g/mL acted as positive controls and 6.25 per cent tween 80 as negative control. The methanolic extract was highly active against ova with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 0.026 mg/mL. The n-hexane fraction was potent in inducing larval mortality with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 1.383 mg/mL while chloroform fraction inhibited larval migration with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 1.796 mg/mL. Amphistomes were highly sensitive for methanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;P. longum&lt;/em&gt; which possessed IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 5.493 mg/mL Based on IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values, the methanolic extract was found to be most potent while chloroform fraction was effective against ova, larvae and also adults. GCMS analysis of potent methanolic extract revealed the presence of piperidinone, hydrocinnamic acid, ethylhexahydro azepine, methyleugenol, hexadecanoic acid and caryophyllene oxide which may have contributed for the anthelmintic activity. The acute oral toxicity study revealed mild vascular changes in liver. From the present study, it can be concluded that chloroform fraction of &lt;em&gt;P. longum&lt;/em&gt; possessed maximum broad spectrum anthelmintic activity comparable to controls.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">333</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Krishnaprasad Ganapati Koorse&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*, Sujith Samraj&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Preethy John&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Priya Manakkulaparambil Narayanan&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Devi SS&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Usha PTA&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Surya Sunilkumar&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Gleeja VL&lt;sup&gt;4 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
