Year 2017, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 7 - 13, 30.03.2017

Abstract

Background: The
aim of this study is to determine the antifungal activity of different parts
like leaf, flower and root extracts of Aerva
lanata
(L.).



Material and Methods: The antifungal activity of different solvents like acetone,
aqueous, benzene and ethylacetate extracts of A. lanata against Candida
parapsilosis, Aspergillus flavus, Trichosporon asa
hii and Mucor indicus was studied by agar well
diffusion method.



Results: Benzene
extract of leaf of A. lanata showed
maximum zone of inhibition against Aspergillus
flavus
. The benzene extract of flower showed antifungal activity against Trichosporon asahii. The acetone extract
of root showed antifungal activity against Candida
parapsilosis, Aspergillus flavus, Trichosporon asahii
and Mucor indicus.



Conclusion: The
best antifungal activity was observed in all solvent extracts of root of A. lanata against selected fungal
species such as Candida parapsilosis,
Aspergillus flavus, Trichosporon asahii
and Mucor indicus, when compared with leaf and flower extracts. In
future, there is in need of study to isolate and purify the active
phytocompounds, which possess antifungal activity against above mentioned
fungal species and it may be useful in the treatment of fungal diseases.
