Abstract
Different solvent extracts such as ethanol, methanol, ethylacetate, chloroform and aqueous extracts were obtained from leaves and shoot of a medicinal plant Cassia obvata Collad for screening the antifungal activity against dermatophytes such as Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton tonsurans and T. rubrum which were scraped from different skin portions of the patients. The aqueous extract showed maximum inhibition activity against test dermatophytes, as compared to ethanol, methanol, chloroform and ethylacetate extracts. Furthermore 9 elements such as Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn. P, S and Zn were analysed from Cassia obvata Collad which have therapeutic role in the skin diseases.
