Abstract:-The present study was designated to evaluate the antifungal activities of ethanolic, methanolic, ethyl acetate and hot water extract from leaves and fruits of Psidium guajava. Compare to all parts, the fruits were showing best result and the zone of inhibition was obtained 29 mm in methanolic extract of fruits against T. rubrum. The antifungal activities of the extracts against fungus were tested by using agar well diffusion assay and the MIC values were determined by broth dilution assay. The hot water extracts showed lower antifungal activity as compared to methanolic, ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts. The least concentrations were obtained 1.98 mg/ml in methanolic extract of fruits and ethanolic extract of leaves against T. rubrum and also 0.33 mg/ml for ethyl acetate extract of fruits against T. rubrum. The antifungal compound mainly found in Psidium guajava were tannins, phlobatannins, saponins, terpenoids, alkaloids and poly phenols.
Keywords:- Antifungal properties, ethanolic, ethyl acetate and methanolic plant extract, MIC, zone of inhibition. |
