Ascarias, caused by either Ascaris suum and Ascaris lumbricoides, is one of the most prevalent and most neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in the world. In this study, the researchers assessed the anthelmintic capability of Ocimum basilicum (Sweet Basil) in attempt to combat ascariasis. This utilized true experimental research design, specifically pretest-posttest control group method. Using logarithmic scale method, the approximate effective concentration (AEC) of the O. basilicum (Sweet Basil) leaves ethanolic extract was determined. Three concentrations (3.98%, 15.84% and 63.06%) used have shown effectivity in paralyzing A. suum. The AEC used in formulating medicated syrup was 3.98% (1.99mL). The formulated syrup was assayed and its density, viscosity, and pH were identified as 1.26g/mL, 0.29cp, and 5, respectively. Moreover, in the in vitro anthelmintic assay, three treatment groups were utilized mainly pyrantel pamoate (positive control), formulated syrup from O. basilicum (Sweet Basil) leaves ethanolic extract (experimental group), and distilled water (negative control). A total of 45 A. suum roundworms were used, divided into three groups, each group had three trials, comprising of five test subjects in each trial. The percentage paralysis index of each treatment group was calculated in accordance to 1-hour and 3-hour post treatment. The formulated syrup from Ocimum basilicum showed 100% paralysis index, which means that it has the ability to induce paralysis to the helminth. Its action was comparable to the action of pyrantel pamoate against the Ascaris suum. Hence, it can be a potential anthelmintic agent.
