Chloroform, Methanol and Water extract of Solanum indicum Linn., a widely used food and medicinal plant of Assam, India was investigated for its in vitro antifungal activity against five different dermatophytic fungi viz., Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton tonsurans, Microsporum gypseum and Microsporum fulvum. Agar well diffusion method was used to determine the inh...

Fungicidal activities of pentachloronitrobenzene and derivatives were tested with Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Microsporon canis. In relation to pentachloronitrobenzene, no increasing fungistatic activities were found with cysteine derivatives. Rising fungistatic activities were seen with pentachlorophenylmethylsulfone and, in so...

A n t i f u n g a l a c t i v i t y o f r h e i n ( 1 , 8 dihydroxyanthraquinone3carboxylic acid) isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Cassia fistula flower was studied. Rhein inhibited the growth of many fungi such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes (MIC 31.25 μg/ml), Trichophyton simii (MIC 125 μg/ml), Trichophyton rubrum (MIC 62.5 μg/ml) and Epidermophyton floccosum (MIC 31.25 μg/ml).

Using internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region ribosomal DNA sequences from 37 stock strains and clinical isolates provisionally termed Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex in Japan, we demonstrated the mutual phylogenetic relationships of these strains. Members of this complex were classified into 3 ITS1-homologous groups and 13 ITS1-identical groups by their sequences. ITS1-homologous group...

The Sensititre YeastOne antifungal panel was used to test 49 dermatophytes belonging to the species Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum gypseum, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton rubrum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The MICs of four antifungals obtained with the Sensititre YeastOne antifungal panel were compared with those obtained by the reference NCCLS microdilutio...

Dermatophytosis is an infection of tissue containing horny substances, such as the stratum corneum in epidermis, hair, and nails. The caused by fungus genus Trichophyton, one which Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Aloe vera leaves contain saponins flavonoids are known to have antimicrobial effect inhibit fungi. Antifungal products can be processed various dosage forms, spray. This study aims determ...

The main etiological agents in dermatophytosis of human skin and nails are Trichophyton, particular Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) mentagrophytes mentagrophytes). A new series twenty-three 3- 4-arylcoumarins was synthesized the antifungal activities against clinical isolates T. were evaluated. Sixteen out molecules exhibited activity one or both fungi strains. In some cases, has been comparabl...

Eighteen plant extracts from nine traditional Mexican medicinal plants were tested for antifungal activity against two dermatophyte fungal species (Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum), one non-dermatophyte (Aspergillus niger), and one yeast (Candida albicans). The strongest effect was manifested by the hexane extracts from Eupatorium aschenbornianum and Sedum oxypetalum, as wel...
