Antifungal Activity Of Mimosa Pudica,isolation And Nmr Characterization Of Bioactive Components.

ABSTRACT  In this study, the whole plant of Mimosa pudica was extracted using absolute ethanol. The crude ethanolic extract and its isolated triterpenoid glycoside were tested for antifungal activity towards Aspergillus flavus and Trichophyton rubrum using Well Diffusion Method. At concentrations of 25 –100 mg/mL, the extract possesses antifungal activity (from being partially active to very active) against Aspergillus flavus and Trichophyton rubrum. The TLC profile of the crude extract indicated many compounds with RF values of 0.41, 0.43, 0.56, 0.68, 0.89, and 0.90. The isolation and purific…
