Antifungal activity of Hyptis spicigera (Lamiaceae) extracts and essential oils of Cymbopogon citratus (Poaceae) and Cymbopogon giganteus against the growth of Aspergillus strains isolated in Burkina Faso
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract: Antifungal activity of local plant extracts on the growth of seven reference and local isolated strains of Aspergillus was tested. The extracts were composed of essential oils (E.O.) from Cymbopogon citratus, Cymbopogon giganteus and Hyptis spicigera as well as extracts from roots, leafy branches and inflorescences of Hyptis spicigera with organic solvents. The antifungal test was done by disc diffusion method with the application of different concentrations of each type of extract. The results showed that inhibitory action of essential oils was concentration-dependent effect and also strain-dependent. The inhibition diameters of the local strains BfaS0 and BfaS1 were respectively 46,5 mm and 20,5 mm for the E.O. of Cymbopogon citratus at 8 mg of the E.O. concentration. For E.O. of Cymbopogon giganteus, the inhibition diameters were 25,5 mm and 19,0 mm respectively for local strains BfaS0 and BfaS1.
