Abstract
Xylocarpus granatum Koenig Meliaceae known as cannonball mangrove or 'nyireh bunga' are locally common in mangrove swamps along Malaysian coast and can be found in tidal mud especially towards their upper limits. In this study three aqueous extracts from three different plant parts of Xylocarpus granatum Meliaceae were tested in vitro against microfilariae of subperiodic Brugia malayi the causative agent of lymphatic filariasis in Malaysia. The three plant parts were dried seeds SX dried husks HX and dried leaves LX. The relative movability RM value of the worms over the 24-hour observation period was used as a measure of the microfilaricidal activity of the three aqueous extracts. Using non-linear regression analysis the microfilaricidal activities of the three extracts were determined. Based on the results of the analysis SX gave the strongest activity against microfilariae of subperiodic B. malayi followed by LX and HX.
