Comparative Study of the Antidermatophytic Activity of four Cameroonian Medicinal Plants.

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: The absence of a comparative study on the antidermatophytic activity of Ageratum houstonianum, Ageratum conyzoides, Polyscia fulva and Mangifera indica hinders the optimization of their use in treating dermatophyte related infections. This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of the methanolic crude extracts of these plants against three dematophyte strains (T. mentagrophytes f0237, T. mentagrophytes f0268 and T. soudanense) that cause ringworm infections and rank the antidermatophytic activity of these plants so as to identify which is most relevant as an antidermatophytic agent for further development.
