Antifungal evaluation of hypericum triquetrifolium polar extracts against fusarium spp.

Abstract

The chemical composition of different kinds of Hypericum triquetrifolium extracts was analyzed by LC-DAD-ESI-MS. Hyperoside, rutin, isoquercitrin and biapigenin were the main constituents. As these natural compounds were reported in the literature for their antifungal activity, the total extracts were tested for their antifungal activity against eight phytopathogenic strains of Fusarium species.
