Preliminary Evaluation of Antifungal Activity of Xanthoxyline
نویسندگان
چکیده
Xanthoxyline, an active constituent isolated from leaves and stems of Sebastiania schottiana and Phyllanthus seUowianus was found to possess antifungal activity. The disk diffusion method was used for the test. The results showed that xanthoxyline inhibited 69 9% of the fungi species like Candida, Microsporum, Tnchophyton, AspergiUus and PeniciUium, producing inhibition zones more than 10 mm in diameter. These effects support the popular use of these plants in folk medicine. RESUMEN. "Evaluación Preliminar de Actividad Antifúngica de la Xantolina". Se encontró que la Xantolina, un principio activo aislado de hojas y tallos de Sebastiania schottiana y de Phyllantus sellowianus, posee actividad antifúngica. Los resultados demostraron que la Xantoxilina inhibió el 69% de las especies de hongos de los géneros Candida, Microsporum, Tricophyton, Aspergillus y Penicillium, produciendo zonas de inhibición superiores a los 10 mm de diámetro. Los efectos observados apoyan el uso popular de estas plantas en medicina popular.
