Effect of Crude Extracts of Apama Siliquosa against Fungal Pathogens
نویسنده
چکیده
Apama siliquosa Lamk is an important medicinal plant whose leaves and roots have multiple uses. The plant is a rich source of many bioactive compounds which are of medicinal importance. The study was undertaken to investigate the antifungal activity of the methanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate and hot water extracts of the roots of Apama siliquosa. The extracts were tested against the pathogenic fungi Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum and Microsporum gypseum. The extracts showed significant inhibitory activity against some fungal pathogens
