Received 23 May, 2016: Accepted 5 October, 2016. Medicinal plants are now recognized as most important alternative for chemical drugs resource, especially for anti-microbial targets. The current study aimed to determine the scolicidal effect of Allium paradoxium and Tanacetum parthenium as medicinal plants in vitro. Protoscoleces were exposed to different concentrations of chloroformic and hydroalcholic extracts (1, 10, 50 and 100 mg/mL) for 5, 10, 30, 60 and 120 min. Viability of protoscolices was confirmed by 0.1% Eosin staining. The results of this study showed that all extracts used were not significantly effective in comparison with the control group. Therefore, chloroformic and hydroalcholic extracts of A. paradoxium and T. parthenium could not be used during hydatid cyst treatment. However, there remains the need to perform advanced comparative clinical studies on the efficacy of A. paradoxium and T. parthenium and other scolicidal agents. Chloroformic and hydroalcoholic extract of A. paradoxium and T. parthenium, did not show any scolicidal activity at the concentration of 1, 10, 50 and 100 mg/ml. Key words: Allium paradoxium, Tanacetum parthenium, Echinococcus granulosus, in vitro. INTRODUCTION Hydatid disease due to Echinococcus granulosus remains the recurrence rate of disease, it is necessary to avoid an imperative, challenging medical problem (Brunetti et spilling of the cyst contents and the use of active al., 2010). It is endemic in developing regions because of scolicidal agents (Eckert et al., 2001). The World Health their poor socioeconomic conditions, but because of Organization (WHO) regards the use of both effective travelling and migration, it continues to have a global and safe agents for intraoperative killing of infectious distribution. Hydatid cysts may be found anywhere in the material, but unfortunately; there is no ideal agent up to body, but liver and lungs are the most infected organs now. According to WHO reports, therapeutic plants with a (Pawlowski et al., 2001). Surgery is still the chosen relatively low risk are the suggested for traditional method of treatment (Topcu et al., 2006). Repetition treatment of disease (WHO, 1996). during the long-term follow-up period is the most usual Allium paradoxium and Tanacetum partheniumon are problem with this therapeutic technique.

The effects of chloroformic extract of A. paradoxium on viability of protoscoleces of hydatid cyst in concentration of 1, 10, 50 and 100 mg/ml after 5, 10, 30, 60 and 180 min in comparison with the control group. antifungal and antiviral effects. Also, these two plants solution, separately for 72 h in room temperature. The obtained showed antigiardial effects in vitro (Shirzad et al., 2014). solution was passed through filter paper (Whatman No.3, Sigma, Germany) to remove plant debris. Finally, the extracts were B-Pinene (6.45%), limonene (3.4%), Z-nerolidol (18.01%), concentrated using a rotary evaporator (Heidolph, Germany), spathulenol (22.06%), alpha-bisabolol (5.06%), phytol placed in a sterile glass and stored at -4°C for later use (Shirzad et (9.15%), n-docosane (4.79%) and n-tricosane (3.8%) are al., 2014). the most important identified compounds of A. paradoxium (Akbar and Ahmadi, 2010). Camphor and chrysanthenyl acetate are the main components of flower Scolicidal tests heads of T. parthenium (Mostafa et al., 2007). The scolicidal tests were done three times (triplicate) and based on Considering the low range of scolicidal compounds, Rahimi-Esboei et al. (2013). In the current study, four concentrations searching for a new scolicidal agents, particularly from (1, 10, 50 and 100 mg/ml) of extracts were examined for 5, 10, 30, natural sources is of great interest (Rahimi-Esboei et al., 60 and 180 min. 2 ml of each concentration was transferred to a 2012; Gholami et al., 2013). test tube; 50 µl of sediment protoscoleces was added to the tube Since A. paradoxium and T. partheniumon has been and mixed lightly. The tube was then incubated at 37°C for 5, 10, 30, 60 and 180 min. At the end of each incubation time, viability of shown to have a number of medicinal and anti-parasitic the protoscoleces was evaluated by 0.1% eosin
