Abstract

The present study was undertaken to examine the antifungal and haemolytic activities with selected herbal preparations.  The antiyeast and antifungal activities were tested by the drop diffusion method.   There were nine different plant species investigated in the present study. Amongst, Tecoma stans found to give the best zone of inhibition against the fungal activity.  The extract of Tecoma stans with chloroform produced the 6 different colours of bands in TLC plate. The Rf values of different colour bands were also calculated.  Results showed that Tecoma stans did not lyse the RBC of A,B,O blood groups.
