Resumo
The essential oil and the aqueous, hexane and methanolic fractions from Hyptis ovalifolia leaves were evaluated
for their antifungal activity in vitro against 60 strains of dermatophytes: 10 strains of Microsporum canis, 10 of M.
gypseum, 20 of Trichophyton rubrum and 20 of T. mentagrophytes. The extracts inhibited growth of the dermatophytes
tested at different concentrations. The most biologically active was the essential oil from the leaves which inhibited
57 isolates (95%) at a concentration of ≤ 500 μg/ml.
