Antifungal Activity

The present research was conducted to determine in vitro Antifungal activity of Sap of Azadirachta indica. The Fungal strain like C. Albicans and A. Niger cause wide range of health complications to most people worldwide. From various studies we found the different parts of plant of Azadirachta indica exhibiting significant Antifungal activity. We conducted research to determine Antifungal activity of Sap of Azadirachta indica in four different volumes (0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5 ml) and zone of inhibition of 10 to 22mm of the fungal strain were determined after 36hrs. By this research we found the Sap of Azadirachta indica exhibited significant Antifungal activity.

A large number of medicinal plants are claimed to be useful in skin disease in all traditional system of medicine. Plumeria rubra is a deciduous tree, widely distributed in common rather moist garden and in lawns. Plant loses leaves for a short time during the winter. Slowly grows up to 25 feet. Plumeria rubra is nowadays, is gaining interest by the scientific researchers due to its folklorics and because of its therapeutic value, easy availability. The result showed that a ethanolic extract exhibited a significant activity with specific standard (chloromphenicol) and antifungal activity with specific standard (Fucanazole). Hence this study proves that Plumeria rubra possess antimicrobial activity.
