The dried material was broken into a coarse powder in an electric grinder and subjected to extraction. The extraction of bark was carried out by successive extraction method with petroleum ether, chloroform and then with methanol. Similarly, aqueous extract were also prepared. Antioxidant activity of these extracts was determined in vitro by DPPH and nitric oxide method using ascorbic acid as standard. The anthelmintic activity of these extracts was evaluated on earthworm with albendazole as standard. It was found that methanolic extract of leaves showed comparable antioxidant and anthelmintic activity.
