Antifungic activity of six plants on Aspergillus flavus Link [Actividad antifúngica de seis plantas sobre Aspergillus flavus Link]

Hexane, chloroform and ethanol extracts were obtained by percolation including hexane, chloroform, dicholoromethane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and methanol extracts by maceration and hexane, chloroform, ethanol, and aqueous extracts obtained under reflux of Casimiroa pringlei, Decatropis bicolor, Chrysactinia mexicana, Heliopsis longipes, Flourensia cernua, and Brickellia veronicaefolia were tested against Aspergillus flavus Link. It was found that hexane extracts obtained by maceration of D. bicolor and H. longipes and the extracts obtained by percolation of C. pringlei, C. mexicana evidently inhibit growth of the microorganism; however when they were obtained by heating, their activity was appreciably diminished. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the hexane extracts obtained by maceration of D. bicolor, and H. longipes and the extract obtained by percolation of C. pringlei, C. mexicana, were 12.5, 12.5, 56.2 and 18.7 μg/ml_ respectively.
