Journal Title: Asian Journal of Pharamceutical and Clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
In recent years, there has been increasing interest worldwide in the use of alternative/herbal medicine for the prevention and treatment of fungaldiseases. Currently, however, quality-related problems (lack of consistency, safety, and efficacy) seem to be overshadowing the potential genuinebenefits of various herbal products for the treatment of fungal diseases. Extracts obtained from many plants have recently gained a great popularityand scientific interest. Since the middle ages, natural plant preparations have been widely used for treatment of fungal diseases. Treatment of thefungal pathogen is becoming increasingly difficult due to antifungal drug resistance, especially with fluconazole, which is a commonly used azole.This paper reviews the in vitro activity of angiospermic plant extracts and their major compounds against dermatophytes and also a compilation ofupdated information on angiospermic plant extracts with antifungal properties.Keywords: Dermatophytes, Extracts, Medicinal plants.
