Actividad antimicótica de phenax rugosus (LAM) PERS y Baccharis trinervis (SW) WEDD / Antimycotic activity of Phenax rugosus (LAM) PERS And Baccharis trinervis (SW) WEDD

RESUMEN

Se midió la actividad antimicótica in vitro de los extractos etanólicos de Phenax rugosus (esparietaria) y Baccharis trinervis (chilca) frente a los hongos Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentragrophytes y Candida albicans. Los extractos etanólicos de ambas plantas presentaron actividad antimicótica frente a los dermatofitos a dosis de 150mg/mL; Candida albicans no fuesensible a ninguno de estos extractos en concentraciones que variaron desde 150 hasta 1000 mg/mL/.

ABSTRACT

The in vitro antimycotic activity of the ethanolic extracts of Phenax rugosus and Baccharis trinervis was measured in regard to the fungi Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans. The etanolic extracts of both plants presented antimicotic activity in response to a 150 mg/ml dose of dermatophytes; Candida albicans was not sensitive to any of these extracts in concentrations varying between 150 up to 1000 mg/ml.
