The toxicity of both plants was time and concentration-dependent. Among organic extracts, ethanol extracts of both plants were more toxic. Toxicity of B. variegata leaf ethanolic extract (96h LC50- 14.4 mg\/L) was more pronounced than M. elengi bark ethanolic extract (96h LC50-15.0 mg\/L). The 24h LC50 of column purified fraction of B. variegata and M. elengi bark were 20.3 mg\/L and 18.3 mg\/L, respectively. Saponin and quercetin were characterized and identified as active molluscicidal component. Co-migration of saponin (Rf 0.48) and quercetin (Rf 0.52) with column purified bark of M. elengi and leaf of B. variegata on thin layer chromatography demonstrate same Rf value i.e. 0.48 and 0.52, respectively. The present study clearly indicates the possibility of using M. elengi and\/or B. variegata as potent molluscicide.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652012000300004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,23]],"date-time":"2012-05-23T08:27:15Z","timestamp":1337761635000},"page":"135-140","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Characterization of the molluscicidal activity of Bauhinia variegata and Mimusops elengi plant extracts against the fasciola vector lymnaea acuminata"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Kanchan Lata","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DDU Gorakhpur University,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.K.","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DDU Gorakhpur University,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vinay Kumar","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DDU Gorakhpur University,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1002\/aheh.19880160202","article-title":"Harmful gastropods and their control","volume":"16","author":"Agarwal RA","year":"1988","journal-title":"Acta Hydrochim Hydrobiol","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0323-4320","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1347","DOI":"10.1002\/ptr.2756","article-title":"Chemical composition and biological potential of plants from the genus Bauhinia","volume":"23","author":"Cechinel Filho V","year":"2009","journal-title":"Phytother Res","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0951-418X","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1590\/S0100-40422002000300018","article-title":"Plantas do g\u00eanero Bauhinia: composi\u00e7\u00e3o qu\u00edmica e potencial farmacol\u00f3gico","volume":"25","author":"Da Silva KL","year":"2002","journal-title":"Qu\u00edm Nova"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"373","DOI":"10.1016\/S0944-7113(99)80062-2","article-title":"Hypotensive effect of the methanolic extract of Mimusops elengi in normotensive rats","volume":"6","author":"Dar A","year":"1999","journal-title":"Phytomedicine","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0944-7113","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"9","key":"ref5","first-page":"4","article-title":"Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of Bauhinia variegata Linn","volume":"3","author":"Dhale BA","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Ecobiotechnol"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref6","first-page":"110","article-title":"Pharmacognostic evaluation of bark and seeds of Mimusops elengi L","volume":"2","author":"Gami B","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int J Pharm Pharm Sci"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"1446","article-title":"Isolation of antibacterial pentahydroxy flavones from the seeds of Mimusops elengi Linn","volume":"6","author":"Hazra KM","year":"2007","journal-title":"African J Biotechnol"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Biologically active natural product","author":"Hostettmann K","year":"1987"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"264","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2007.12.033","article-title":"Molluscicidal activity of Carica papaya and Areca catechu against the freshwater snail Lymnaea acuminata","volume":"152","author":"Jaiswal P","year":"2008","journal-title":"Vet Parasitol","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0304-4017","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1568","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chemosphere.2005.08.071","article-title":"Molluscicidal activity of Ferula asafoetida, Syzygium aromaticum and Carum carvi and their active components against the snail Lymnaea acuminata","volume":"63","author":"Kumar P","year":"2006","journal-title":"Chemosphere","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0045-6535","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref11","first-page":"550","article-title":"Combination of molluscicides with attractant carbohydrates and amino acids in bait formulations against the snail Lymnaea acuminata","volume":"15","author":"Kumar P","year":"2011","journal-title":"Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0392-291X","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"180","DOI":"10.1002\/ptr.2650090305","article-title":"Screening of various plant extracts used in Ayurvedic medicine for inhibitory effect on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease","volume":"9","author":"Kusumoto IT","year":"1995","journal-title":"Phytother Res","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0951-418X","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref13","first-page":"314","article-title":"Rakta Kanchan (Bauhinia variegata): chemistry, traditional and medicinal uses.
