ABSTRACT: The effect of coelomic fluids from Eisenia foetida and Perionyx excavatus on coagulation and hemolysis were examined separately. Coelomic fluids from Eisenia foetida and Perionyx excavatus were extracted separately from heat shock treatment. The coelomic fluid from Perionyx excavatus showed procoagulant and hemolytic activities whereas the coelomic fluid from Eisenia foetida exhibited only procoagulant activity and not hemolytic activity. These results clearly suggests that these two earthworm species have different factors responsible for the different pharmacological activities in their coelomic fluids.
