Antifungal Activity Of Clerodendrum Inerme (L). And Clerodendrum Phlomidis (L)., Rajasekaran Anitha, Ponnusamy Kannan

Turkish Journal of Biology

The ethyl acetate and hexane extracts of leaves and stems of Clerodendrum inerme and Clerodendrum phlomidis (Verbenaceae) were screened for antifungal activity. Both ethyl acetate and hexane extracts of C. phlomidis stem and leaf exhibited appreciable inhibition on all the studied plant and human pathogenic fungi. However, leaf hexane extract (1 mg/ml) of C. inerme inhibited the plant pathogenic fungi better than the human dermatophytes.
