Abstract:-Cold and hot water, methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, and hexane extracts of leaves, stem and roots of Ricinus communis in a final concentration of 500mg/ml were evaluated for their antifungal properties against pathogenic microorganisms such as Trycophyton rubrum, Candida albicans, Microsporum Spp. using agar well diffusion method. In case of leaf cold aqueous, methanolic and acetone extracts were effective. Only cold aqueous extract of stem was effective. Cold aqueous extract of root was most effective followed by acetone, ethyl acetate and hexane extracts. MIC was also calculated for the most effective extracts and it was found to be 31.25mg/ml.
Key words :- Antifungal properties, Ricinus communis, Pathogens, Solvent extraction, Agar well diffusion |
