Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The present communication deals with the antifungal and preliminary phytochemical screening on the Hyptis suaveolens (L. Poit) Lamiaceae. The plant is stimulant, carminative, antispasmodic antirheumatic, antisuporitic bath. It is also used for parasitical cutaneous diseases, infection of uterus, and as sudorific in catarrhal condition, headache, stomach, snuff to stop bleeding of the nose. The antimicrobial effect of Hyptis suaveolens leaves extract was evaluated methanol extracts was carried out by using fungus like, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. The in vitro antimicrobial evaluation was carried out by agar disc-diffusion method. Preliminary phytochemical screening shows the presence of volatile oil, starch, proteins, tannins, saponins, fats, alkaloids and glycosides etc. Hyptis suaveolens leaves may be considered as an alternative and effective inhibitor of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, in addition to offer some protective effect to the production of aflatoxins.
