S. M. Satpute*

ABSTRACT

The different developmental growth stages of pod and stem bark of Cassia fistula were screened for the antifungal activity against two pathogenic microorganisms by agar well diffusion method. Aqueous, ethanol and benzene extracts from the different developmental growth stages of pods of Cassia fistula were tested against fungi. Cassia fistula used in Ayurvedic medicine. This plant is used in the treatment of skin diseases, inflammatory diseases rheumatism and anorexia. Antifungal activities of various extracts were compared with commercially available antibiotic. The result revealed that aqueous extract and ethanolic extract showed maximum antifungal activity. Thus both extracts was found to be fungi static and it can be used in drug development to control various fungal infection.

Keywords: Antifungal activity, microorganism, pesticides, Cassia fistula, Antimicrobial activity, Medicinal plant.
