Resumo
Ethanolic extracts from leaves of Hyptis ovalifolia, H. suaveolens, H. saxatilis, Hyptidendrum canum, Eugenia
uniflora, E. dysenterica, Caryocar brasiliensis and Lafoensia pacari were investigated for their antifungal
activity against dermatophytes. The most effective plants were H. ovalifolia and E. uniflora, while Trichophyton
rubrum was the most sensitive among the four dermatophytes species evaluated. This study has demonstrated
antifungal properties of Brazilian Cerrado plant extracts in “in vitro” assays.
