Abstract

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a type of plant that grows in Indonesia which functions as a food ingredient and as traditional medicine. Generally, this genus contains prenylated flavonoid compounds. This study aimed to determine the anthelmintic effect of jackfruit bark extract against Ascaris lumbricoides worms by utilizing total maceration with methanol solvent as the extraction method, which yielded 6.61%. Roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides are found in pig intestines. The samples were divided into 5 groups, including positive control of 250 mg combantrin solution, negative control of NaCMC and a treatment group of jackfruit bark extract with a concentration of 1%, 3%, and 5%. Each group consisted of three worms, incubated at 37oC for 24 hours with a 6 hours interval. The results showed that at a concentration of 5%, a jackfruit bark extract was efficient as an anthelmintic caused two worms to lyse at 6 hours and  one at 12 hours.
