Polygonum minus are empirically used as an anthelmintic drug, butthere has been no scientific study that proves it. Methods: Thisstudy was aimed at determining the anthelmintic activity of ethanol extract of Polygonum minus leaves against Ascaridia galli in vitro. The extractwas prepared in three different concentrations i.e 0.5 mg/mL, 1 mg/mL and 2mg/mL. NaCl 0.9% was used as a negative control group and albendazole 0.2mg/mL, a broad spectrum anthelmintic was used as a positive control group. Ascaridia galli was used as the testparasite. The study involved the determination of death time of the worms. Results: Thedeath time of the worms that caused by the extract concentration 0.5 mg/mL, 1mg/mL and 2 mg/mL, respectively were (mean±SD) 35±3.32 hours, 32.8±2.39 hoursand 25±3.39 hours. The death time that caused by negative and positive controlgroup were 76.6±8.30 hours and 19.2±1.48 hours. There is no significantdifference of death time of the worms between the extract concentration 2 mg/mLand the positive control group. Conclusion: The anthelmintic activity of ethanol extract of Polygonum minus leaves has beenconfirmed and extract concentration 2 mg/mL has the same anthelmintic activitywith albendazole 0.2 mg/mL.
