10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 4 Issue 4 2013 (October - December) The antifungal activity of lessThan i greaterThan Terminalia catappa lessThan /i greaterThan leaves was tested against five allergenic and pathogenic moulds. An initial screening of effectivity of different solvent extracts was done by phytochemical analysis and lessThan i greaterThan in-vitro lessThan /i greaterThan antifungal activity. The antifungal activity was determined by both food poison technique and by cup-well diffusion method for five test organisms viz lessThan i greaterThan Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata, lessThan /i greaterThan lessThan i greaterThan Curvularia lunata ,Penicillium chrysogenum, and Trychophyton tonsurans lessThan /i greaterThan . Methanol extract showed significant antifungal activity. The MIC evaluated at three different concentrations, t was not concentration dependent activity. Most susceptible mould was lessThan i greaterThan Curvularia lunata lessThan /i greaterThan  and least susceptible was lessThan i greaterThan Alternaria alternata lessThan /i greaterThan as compared with standard antifungals.Hplc analysis revealed presence of a known flavonoid component identified as quercitin. *SHIKHA MANDLOI, RENU MISHRA, RANJANA VARMA , BINU VARUGHESE AND JAGRATI TRIPATHI.
