results sickle cells were observed among 20% of subjects with the dilution of 1:50 and 70% of subjects with the dilution of 1:100. mean percentage of sickle red cells with dilutions of 1:50, 1:100 and 1:200 were 3.75%, 25.75% and 43.0%, respectively. conclusions it is suggested that c. fistula may protect rbc against sickling, in hypoxic conditions, in individuals with hbs gene defect. objectiv...

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).

The methanol extract of Cassia fistula seeds was investigated for potential antimicrobial activity against medically important bacterial, yeast and fungal strains. The antimicrobial activity was determined in methanol extract using the disk diffusion technique and the broth dilution method. The extract was effective on tested microorganism and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values w...
