Method Of Extraction

Plant extracts occupied a big place in diseases treatment and preserving human health because, they contain many active substances that can be exploited in the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing from natural materials. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of plant extracts for each of Nigella sativa, Alliumsativum and Allium cepa against the fungal growth of Candida albicans that cause many skin diseases and infections to humans as well as Trichophyton mentagrophytes, which affects the hair, skin and nails. These two fungi have been isolated and diagnosed from people who have skin infection. Both fungal isolates were treated with extracts of Nigella sativa, Alliumsativum and Allium cepa, which are prepared by using the cold method of extraction. The results showed the effectiveness of Nigella sativa extract against C. albicans and T. Mentagrophytes within two weeks of incubation period. On the other hand, it has been found that the extract of Nigella sativa was more effective on C. albicans, as the rate of inhibition zone was 3.0-4.2 in diameter and 4.5-5.0 on SDA and ESDA media respectively. The results of the fungus T. mentagrophytes indicated that the inhibition zone was 3.2 -3 cm in diameter on SDA medium and 3.0- 4.2 cm on ESDA medium compared with control, as there were no inhibition zones appearance for both fungi. Moreover, the results showed that Allium sativum extract comes in second place in their effectiveness against fangal growth, whereas, the Allium cepa extract did not show any significant impact

Background: A good collection of fungi culture can be maintained with good preservation methods. With appropriate methods, preservation can be performed in low-budget laboratories, such as with periodic subculture and preservation in either sterile water or in paraffin oil. The aim of this study was to assess the viability, morphology, contamination, and antifungal susceptibility profile of fungi preserved in sterile water or paraffin oil compared to a periodic subculture. Methods: This study was an experimental study using Aspergillus sp., Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans. The fungi were preserved by a periodic subculture or in sterile water or in paraffin oil for six months. A comparison of viability, morphology, contamination, and antifungal susceptibility profile between methods were made before and after six months of study. Results: The viability of all the fungi was maintained in both periodic subculture and preservation with paraffin oil. However, the T. mentagrophytes was not viable in preservation using sterile water. All methods could maintain the morphology without contamination. There were reductions in the inhibition zone against antifungal drug in preservation with sterile water and paraffin oil. Conclusion: Preservation in paraffin oil is superior to preservation in sterile water in terms of maintaining fungal viability. This method is suitable for the use in a simple laboratory, albeit considerations should be given to the reduction of inhibition zone.

Antifungal Activity of Essential Oils from Two Varieties of Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicumL.)The aim of this work was an evaluation of the antifungal activity of essential oils from two cultivars of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicumL.): ‘Wala’ and ‘Fine Verde’. The essential oils from dried, ground herbs were extracted with the hydro-distillation method using Deryng apparatus. The composition of the oils was analyzed by gas chromatography. The antifungal activity of the oils was tested against the following strains:Alternariasp.,Aspergillus flavus, Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium herbarum, Eurotium amstelodamiandEurotium chevalieri. The disc diffusion agar method was applied. Each oil was used in two doses, 10 and 5 μl/disc. A disc (6 mm dia.), soaked with oil, was placed on agar plates, which had been previously inoculated with spores of the different strains. The diameters of fungal growth inhibition zones were measured after 72h of incubation at 25°C and expressed in millimeters. The obtained results showed that the diameter of the mycelium growth inhibition zone significantly depended on the source of oil, the dose of oil, and the species of fungi. The essential oil from the ‘Wala’ variety was more effective against the tested fungi than the oil from ‘Fine Verde’ and the inhibition zones were greater when the dose of the oils was higher.E. chevalieriwas the most sensitive to both of the oils andA. flavuswas the most resistant. The differences in the antifungal activity of the tested oils were probably the result of their different chemical compositions. In comparison with the ‘Fine Verde’ oil, the oil from ‘Wala’ had more than twice the amount of linalool, more 1,8-cineole, and contained geraniol and methyl chavicol. In the conditions of the experiment both oils showed greater antifungal activity than cycloheximide (actidion) and methyl thiophanate (Topsin M 500 SC) used as controls.

The utilization of metal oxide nanoparticles, especially zinc oxide, is of a great importance in the medical field because of its physical and chemical properties as well as its antimicrobial potential effects. In our study, the ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by the precipitation method where pH=14. ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Antifungal activity of the ZnO was tested against candida albicans. The results showed that C. albicans (15 samples) became resistant to the fungal activity after testing its sensitivity to several types of fungal antibiotics. UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, TEM and AFM showed that this precipitation synthetic method can produce a good quality of ZnO nanoparticles with sizes in the range of nanometer scale. In ZnO NPs (calcined), the inhibition zone diameter of C. albicans was 11 mm at a ZnO NPs concentration of 800 mg/ml, while no inhibition zones were formed at the other concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 10, 50 and 500 mg/ml). Using ZnO NPs (not calcined), the inhibition zone diameter of C. albicans was 24 mm at a concentration of 800 mg/ml, while no inhibition zones were observed at the other concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 10, 50 and 500 mg/ml). In addition, a toxicity test was performed on mice and proved that ZnO NPs are effective against C. albicans with a toxic effect on liver and spleen cells in rats. The aim of this research was to characterize the in vitro activity of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by the precipitation method against C. albicans of human male pleural fluid using the well diffusion method as well as their toxic effects on both liver and spleen cells in mice.
