Abstract
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the antifungal activity of the traditional medicinal plants used by agricultural workers to treat onychomycosis. Of all tested plants, methanol leaf extracts of Croton tiglium possessed antifungal activity against many isolates. Azulene, 9-Hexadecenoic acid, Octadecane, and 3-ethyl-5-(2-ethylbutyl) were the major antifungal compounds identified by GC-MS/MS. Broad ranges of antifungal properties of C. tiglium makes it a potential candidate for the treatment of onychomycosis without health hazard.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
