ABSTRACT
Se midió la actividad antimicótica in vitro de los extractos etanólicos de Phenax rugosus (esparietaria) y Baccharis trinervis (chilca) frente a los hongos Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentragrophytes y Candida albicans. Los extractos etanólicos de ambas plantas presentaron actividad antimicótica frente a los dermatofitos a dosis de 150mg/mL; Candida albicans no fuesensible a ninguno de estos extractos en concentraciones que variaron desde 150 hasta 1000 mg/mL/.
The in vitro antimycotic activity of the ethanolic extracts of Phenax rugosus and Baccharis trinervis was measured in regard to the fungi: Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans. The etanolic extracts of both plants presented antimicotic activity in response to a 150 mg/ml dose of dermatophytes; Candida albicans was not sensitive to any of these extracts in concentrations varying between 150 up to 1000 mg/ml.
