چکیده
Ceasalpinia bonducella Fleming (Caesalpiniaceae) plant is well known for its medicinal value in Indian Ayurveda. However, more experimental data need to be collected in order to scientifically prove its efficacy. In this regard, the phytochemical screening conducted on various seed extracts of C. bonducella revealed the presence of several bioactive molecules that include oils, sterols, saponins, alkaloids, glycosides, phenols, tannins, flavonoids and resins. Besides, the ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts of C. bonducella seeds exhibited high to moderate antifungal effect against the tested fungal species of Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria solani. The results obtained in this study indicate that C. bonducella possesses a potential value to control certain important fungal pathogens.
