Abstract

The present study was designed to evaluate the antifungal activity of alcoholic and aqueous extract from leaves and bark of Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser using the paper disc diffusion method. All the extracts showed antifungal activity against the Aspagillus fumigatous and Candila albicans. Leaves extract showed more activity than the bark extracts and it was comparable to the standard drug Ketoconazole.
