Analysis of essential elements and anti fungal activity of medicinal plant Fagonia critica L. against Dermatophytes

Abstract

Different solvent such as ethanol, methanol, ethylacetate, chloroform and equeous extracts were obtained from leaves and shoot of a medicinal plant Fagonia critical.L. for screening the anti fungal activity against dermatophyte such as Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Microsporum, gypseum, Paecilomyces varioti, and Trichophyton rubrum. Which were scraped from different skin portions of the patients the ethanol extract showed maximum inhibition activity against test dermatophytes. The, ethylacetate extract exhibited moderate inhibition activity against M.gypseum, T. rubrum, and P.varioti, but it appeared to be a very weak inhibitor against A.flavus, and A.niger, further more nine elements such as Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn. P. S and Zn were analysed from Fagonia critical; which have therapeutic role in skin diseases.
