Based on ethnobotanical approach, the dragon's blood collected from Croton urucurana Baill. bark (Euphorbiaceae) was tested for antifungal activity against five dermatophytes by paper disk diffusion method. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) showing no visible fungal growth was also determined, using tube dilution technique. The test dermatophytes were Tricophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum canis and Epidermophyton floccossum. The dragon's blood (0.175-3.0 mg/ml) exhibited an inhibition zone range of 7.6-26.9 mm against all the tested fungi with minimal inhibitory concentrations of 1.25-2.5 mg/ml.
基于民族植物学方法,采用纸片扩散法对从巴豆属植物乌鲁库拉纳巴豆(大戟科)树皮中采集的龙血进行了针对五种皮肤癣菌的抗真菌活性测试。还使用试管稀释技术测定了无可见真菌生长的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)。受试皮肤癣菌为断发毛癣菌、须癣毛癣菌、红色毛癣菌、犬小孢子菌和絮状表皮癣菌。龙血(0.175 - 3.0毫克/毫升)对所有受试真菌的抑菌圈范围为7.6 - 26.9毫米,最低抑菌浓度为1.25 - 2.5毫克/毫升。
