Abstract
Crude extracts of different parts (leaf, seed and pod) of Cassia occidentalis was examined for their antifungal activ- ity against three fungi viz. Candida albicans, Aspergillus clavatus and Aspergillus niger. Anti fungal activity of dif- ferent plant parts in terms of Minimal Inhibitory Concentration *MIC+ (μg/ml) ranged between 200-1000 μg/ml. The extracts performed as good as or even better than the standard drugs Nystatin and Greseofulvin with excep- tion of activity of leaf extracts against aspergilli.
