Abstract
Antifungal Activity of leaf extracts of Nerium indicum against Pathogenic Fungi Aspergillus spp.
Highlights
Medicinal plants are represent a rich source of antifungal agent and are traditionally used for the treatment of infectious diseases
The results and screening of antifungal activity of Nerium indicum leaf extracts are summarized in table 1
The percentage of growth inhibition of the selected pathogenic Aspergillus species by leaf extracts of Nerium indicum was recorded and the data were showed in table 2
Summary
Medicinal plants are represent a rich source of antifungal agent and are traditionally used for the treatment of infectious diseases. Plants and their products have been used since ancient times for medicinal purpose. Plant extracts has been used traditionally to treat a number of infectious disease including those caused by bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. Research on new antimicrobial substances should be continued and small molecules from medicinal chemistry, as well as natural products are still major sources of innovative therapeutic agents for infectious disease [5]. The types of health problems caused by Aspergillus include allergic reactions, lung infections, and infections in other organs. In plants Aspergillus species cause harmful disease such as black rot, collar rot disease etc
