Abstract
The present study highlighted the inhibitory effect of alcoholic extract of the calyx leaves of Hibiscussabdariffa L. against the growth of some dermatophytes fungi isolated from the skin, head hair and nails. During this study four cutaneous fungus was isolated and classified from the skin :- Trichophytonmentagrophytes, Trichophytonrubrum, Microsporumgypseum and Microsporumcanis. Three concentrations of alcoholic extract of Gujarat plant (5, 10, 15) mg / ml were tested by mixing it with fungus medium. The study showed that the alcohol extract of Gujarat had an inhibitory ability on isolated fungi skin, and the highest rate of extracted effect was at the concentration of 15 mg / ml where the colony appeared as small white fungi isolation of Trichophytonmentagrophytes and Microsporumgypseum, while the lowest rate of effect extracted at a concentration of 5 mg / ml was on Microsporumcanis. The results showed that, using several chemical reagents of the alcoholic extract contains alkaloids, tannins, kalekosides and phenols and did not contain saponins and resins. The present study concludes the high efficiency of alcoholic extract of Gujarat plant in its effect on the growth of dermatophytes.
