摘要
The present study aimed at reviewing Sudanese medicinal plants screened for antifungal activity. A total of 85 plant species belonging to 48 families (42 dicotyledonous and 6 monocotyledonous) were reported to have antifungal activity against some fungal species. The family Fabaceae was reported to be the most screened family, while Acacia nilotica from the same family and subfamily Mimosoideae was reported to be the most screened species. On the other hand, a total of 20 fungal species belonging to 10 genera and 6 families were reported to be used in studies for antifungal activities from Sudanese plants, with the two genera Aspergillus and Candida being the most tested genera. Four methods for testing antifungal activities of Sudanese plants were used, with the cup-plate diffusion method being the most applied method (75.18%). It is hoped that this review will define the current situation of research for antifungal activities of Sudanese plants. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by IASE.
