| plants used in guatemala for the treatment of dermatophytic infections. 2. evaluation of antifungal activity of seven american plants. | from 52 plants screened for antifungal activity, 26 (50%) were active against dermatophytes. this paper reports further evaluation of seven american plants against four pathogenic fungi (aspergillus flavus, epidermophyton floccosum, microsporum gypseum and trichophyton rubrum), the part showing most activity, the best solvent and, in three cases, the minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) against the fungus in pure culture. antifungal activity was confirmed in all of the plants, but not all part ... | 1993 | 8145577 |
| plants used in guatemala for the treatment of protozoal infections. i. screening of activity to bacteria, fungi and american trypanosomes of 13 native plants. | extracts were prepared from 13 native plants used for the treatment of protozoal infections. activity against bacteria and fungi was demonstrated by dilution procedures; trypanosoma cruzi was evaluated in vitro against epimastigote and trypomastigotes and in vivo against trypomastigotes. in active extracts, toxicity was evaluated by artemia salina nauplii, oral acute toxicity (1-5 g/kg) and oral and intraperitoneal subacute toxicity in mice (500 mg/kg). from the plants screened, six showed activ ... | 1998 | 9849628 |
