Psoralea Corylifolia L. A Potent Medicinal Plant with Broad Spectrum of Medicinal Properties

Abstract

Background & Objective:
Material & Methods
Antifungal activity of the bioactive compound 2H-Furo[2,3-H]-1-benzopyran-2-one isolated from seeds of Psoralea
corylifolia L. recorded complete inhibition of Drechslera halodes and Trichoderma viride at 800ppm concentration.
Results: Cladosporium cladosporoides recorded 98.0% inhibition at 1000ppm , Curvularia lunata recorded 71.0%
inhibition at 800ppm and Alternaria alternata recorded 90.0% inhibition at 900ppm concentration respectively. The
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of all the test fungi was identified and all the results obtained were
compared to synthetic fungicide Dithane M45 and Bavistin. Conclusion: Needed
