Abstract :
Background Medicinal plants are widely used throughout the world.
Since these plants are known to have minimal side effects, many people
embrace them. This study aims to investigate the antifungal effects of
the extracts of the plants against
Candida albicans.
Methods The extracts of
Echinophora platyloba,
Peganum harmala,
Heracleum
persicum and
Rosmarinus officinalis were
prepared using a rotary device. The inhibitory concentration against
Candida albicans was determined using incubation in media. Results The
results show that highest MIC of
R. officinalis
against
C. albicans was 100 ppm and low MIC was 12.5
ppm against
C. albicans (
Table 1) and the highest MIC of
E. platyloba against
C. albicans
was 150 ppm and low MIC was 12.5 ppm against
C.
albicans. The results of this study showed that by increasing
the concentration of plant extracts inhibited by the fungus has also
been increased. Futhermore,
Heracleum persicum
extract concentration inhibited growth of fungal ppm 25 while
Peganum harmala extract concentration inhibited
growth ppm 50. Conclusions The results showed good antifungal activity
Peganum harmala,
Echinophora
platyloba,
Rosmarinus officinalis and
Heracleum persicum has expressed Feb plants can be
used to treat infections caused by these.
