Antifungal Activity of the Crude Extract from Quintinia acutifolia on the Dermatophytic fungus

The crude extract of Quintinia acutifolia Kirk inhibited the growth of the Gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis ATCC 19659, (3 mm inhibition zone at $150\;{\mu}g/disc$) and the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 28185, (3 mm inhibition zone at $150\;{\mu}g/disc$), and cytotoxic to P388 murine leukaemia cells ATCC CCL 46 P388D1, ($IC_{50}$ $50,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ at $150\;{\mu}g/disc$). However, Candida albicans (ATCC 14053) did not observed the antimicrobial activity and the cytotoxic activity to BSC monkey kidney cells ($({\alpha})$ 5 mg/mL, $150\;{\mu}g/disc$).
