BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF 3-ARYLIDENE-5(4-SUBSTITUTED PHENYL)-2(3H)-PYRROLONES

Asif Husain

Abstract

A series of 3-arylidene-5(4-substituted phenyl)-2(3H)-pyrrolones have been evaluated for their in vitro anthelmintic activity against two species
of earthworms i.e. Pheretima posthuma and Perionyx excavatus. The anthelmintic activity of seven pyrrolones (1-7) was determined by recording
the mean paralyzing and death times of the worms at concentration of 2mg/mL. The screened compounds showed appreciable anthelmintic
activities against both types of worms.
