Abstract

In the present investigation three Pakistani medicinal plants were studied for their Antifungal potentials. The antifungal activity of these medicinal plants was determined by tube dilution method. Among the entire fraction hexane fraction shows remarkable inhibition zone in the range of 40-60 mm. while chloroform and ethyl acetate also show good inhibition as compared to ethanol fraction. Thus a lead hit can be discovered by further phytochemical investigation on these medicinal plants.
