| Summary: | At present, the use of phytotherapy is in greater demand by patients and many health professionals due to its easy access, low cost and because of adverse reactions. Objective: To determine the antifungal effect of different hydroalcoholic concentrations of Uncaria tomentosa (UT) about Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Materials and methods: In vitro experimental study. The sample consisted of 24 box of petri dishes with Sabourand agar, each with six discs corresponding to the 6 study groups being: G1 Nistatin 21 ul (Positive Control); G2 hydroalcoholic extract of 100% UT; G3 hydroalcoholic extract of 75% UT; G4 hydroalcoholic extract of 50% UT; G5 hydroalcoholic extract of 25% UT; G6 70 ° Ethyl Alcohol (Negative Control) A hydroalcoholic extract was elaborated by maceration, using 75mg of micropulverized plant and 250ml of ethyl alcohol of 70 °, 150ml of extract was obtained, the same one that was diluted to obtain three secondary concentrations at 75%, 50% and 25%. The data were processed and analyzed through the ANOVA and Bonferroni test with a level of significance of 5%. Results: A halo of inhibition of 6.46 mm, 10.96 mm, 14.75 mm and 16.5 mm was observed for the hydroalcoholic extracts at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% respectively. Nistatin showed a halo of inhibition of 23.42 mm and ethyl alcohol of 70 ° did not have any antifungal effect. A statistically significant difference was observed between the groups (<0.001). Conclusion: The 100% hydroalcoholic extract of UT such as nystatin showed to be sensitive, while the concentrations at 50% and 75% showed intermediate sensitivity and the concentration at 25% was resistant against Candida albicans. |
