The leaves of the common West African plant GuireaSenegalensis were analyzed for the presence of secondary
metabolites. The qualitative analysis confirmed the presence of saponins, alkaloids, Flavounoids, tannins and steroids as
active constituents of ethanolic extract which are similar to water extract with exception of steroids. Further
investigation reveals the antihelminthic effect of GuireaSenegalensis by administering 200mg/kg twice of leaves extract
over a period of seven days using a rabbit’s models; ethanol extracts revealed 50% effective and water extracts 28.57%
effective.
