Comparative analysis of antifungal activity of Rhazya stricta ethanolic extracts and biogenic silver nanoparticles against pathogenic fungi
2024
Overview
Rhazya stricta
, a perennial shrub native to the Middle East and South Asia, has been used in traditional medicine for various therapeutic purposes, including antimicrobial action. The current study aimed to compare the antifungal properties of 96% and 50% ethanolic extracts of
R. stricta
leaves and their biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The phytochemical constituents of both extracts were analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The AgNPs were characterized using FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, DLS, and TEM, confirming bioactive chemicals’ effective production and existence. The antifungal efficacy was tested on five pathogenic fungi:
Drechslera halodes
,
Drechslera tetramera
,
Macrophomina phaseolina
,
Alternaria alternata
, and
Curvularia australiensis.
The 96% ethanol extract inhibited fungal growth the most, with
D. halodes
,
C. australiensis
, and
A. alternata
all experiencing almost 100% inhibition. AgNPs also showed strong antifungal efficacy, with those generated from 96% ethanol extract outperforming those from 50% ethanol extract. This study highlights the potential of
R. stricta
extracts and their biogenic AgNPs as environmentally friendly antifungal agents, which supports their use in long-term antimicrobial therapy.
