Abstract
⺠In this study we assessed 30 plant extracts on Leishmania donovani promastigote viability. ⺠Plant extracts from Agave americana, Azadirachta indica, Eclipta alba and Piper longum effectively killed L. donovani promastigote in culture. ⺠We investigated the minimum effective concentration (MEC) of these plant extracts. ⺠Plant extracts from Agave americana, Azadirachta indica and Eclipta alba were found comparatively more effective on amastigote killing at MEC. ⺠These plant extracts were found less toxic on human cell than Amphotericin B.
