Abstract
Nelumbo nucifera flower used in traditional systems of medicine, Natural products, especially plants have been used in the treatment of varies diseases for thousands of years. The present work deals with the antifungal activity of Nelumbo nucifera flower against the silver nanoparticles. Dandruff is a major public health burden in both developed and developing countries. Nelumbo nucifera (lotus) plant derived agents are being used for the treatment of dandruff. Aqueous extract of lotus flower Nelumbo nucifera (lotus) was studied for antifungal properties against the dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton, Malassezia furfur, and candida. Three different types of compounds were separated to different time intervals (C-I, C-II and C-III) by using column chromatography and tested for disc diffusion test. The compound – III gave the maximum zone of inhibition. The results were compared with silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). The antifungal activity was significantly increased in the Ag-NPs. Key words:Antifungal activity, Dermatophytes, silver nanoparticles.
