THE ANTIFUNGAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF TWO PLANTS FROM ASTEMCEAE

Abstract

In this study, we have found that, Chlysanthemum coronarium has shown antifungal and antibacterial activity, but Inula viscosa didn't show any antifungal or antibacterial activity. The aerial parts of Chrysanthemum coronarium L.(Asteraceae) were collected in May,1996 from Milas-Mugla. The aerial parts of Inula viscosa (L.) Aiton (Asteraceae) were collected in September 26,1996 from Riva, Istanbul .The plants were identified by Ertan Tuzlaci.Voucher specimens are deposited in the Herbarium of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Marmara (h4AR.E 4827,5301). C.coronarium is used as anthelminthic' and insectiside2; I. viscosa is used for the treatment of wounds3.
