Abstract

The methanolic crude extract from the roots of Jacquinia flammea showed moderate Antifungal activity against dermatophytes and very strong Antifungal activity against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The bioassay-guided purification of the extract, using a combination of vacuum-liquid chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography, allowed the identification of sakurasosaponin as the main metabolite responsible for the Antifungal activity.
