“…Silmilarly, Phonhpaichit et al( 2004) [17] reported antifungal activity of crude methanolic leaf extracts of different Cassia species against pathogenic fungi Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton rubrum and Penicillium marneffei. The present findings are in agreement with recent work of Ekwealor and Oyeka (2016) [18] who studied the potential of both methanolic and aqueous extract of leaf of Cassia alata against common dermatophytes. The antidermatophytic activity of Catharanthus roseus was also studied by Gupta et al(2014) [19], Kumari and Gupta (2013) [20], Bhadouria and Kumar (2011) [21].…”

Thirteen commonly found species of plants reported to be used against skin ailments, were selected for the present study . The aqueous leaf extracts were first screened qualitatively for the presence of nine biochemical components (alkaloids, anthranol glycosides, saponins, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, protein and reducing sugar) and the scores were noted. All the extracts were further tested by agar incorporation method against three common dermatophytes -Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum audouinii. The extracts of Catharanthus roseus and Cassia alata were found to be the most potent followed by Ageratum conyzoides

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of nails caused by dermatophytes, yeasts of nondermatophyte molds. Far more than being a simple cosmetic problem, infected nail serves as a chronic reservoir, which can give rise to repeated mycotic infections and represents about 30% of mycotic cutaneous infections. Theprevalence rate of onychomycosis is determined by age, predisposing factor, social class, occupation, climate,living environment. To evaluation of Anti-fungal potential of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Blume (Lauraceae) Barks Extract for Onychomycosis. The C. Zeylanicum barks crude extracts were obtained by soxhlet-solidliquid extraction using ethanol and aqueous. The dermatophytes namely, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton simii, Epidermophyton floccosum and Candida albicans were recovered from rice farmers in Orathanadu, Thanjavur (Dt), Tamil Nadu. The antifungal activity, minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum fungicidal concentrations against the onychomycosis of C. zeylanicum was determined by the disc diffusion methods in sabouraud dextrose agar using ketoconazole (2mg/disc) as a positive control. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of wide range of bioactive constituents like flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, saponins, terpenes and steroids. The ethanol barks extract inhibited all test organisms at the minimum concentration of 25 mg/ml while fungicidal actions were observed at a concentration of 50 mg/ml for T. rubrum, 180 mg/ml for T. mentagrophytes, 160 mg/ml for T. simii, 120 mg/ml for E. floccosum and 60 mg/ml for C. albicans. The ability of the extracts to inhibit the growth of fungi likes dermatophytes and yeast is an indication of the antifungal potential of C. zylanicum, which makes the candidate for production of antifungal agents.
