The plant is commonly used in protective rituals, and as an antiflu, analgesic and disinfectant medicine. &lt;strong&gt;Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;The research aims to extract and analyze the chemical composition and evaluation of its antifungal potential of the essential oil extracted from its leaves. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;steam distillation was used for the extraction of essential oil, the evaluation of its components was performed by GC/MS, and the antifungal evaluation by the disc diffusion method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The essential oil was obtained with a yield of 0.05%. 33 compounds were detected of which 30 were identified, corresponding to 99.28%; the most abundant molecules were: thujene &amp;lt;α-&amp;gt; (36.63%), followed by bicyclogermacrene with (8.76%), pinene &amp;lt;β-&amp;gt; with (8.32%) and limonene with 5.15%. Three of the four strains evaluated were affected by the oil at concentrations of 1.25%, inhibiting its growth. The strains were: &lt;em&gt;Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; Microsporum canis&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The essential oil shows good antifungal activity, which could be less than 1.25%. In this way, this medicinal plant is valued by verifying ancestral knowledge in the use of medicinal plants by the Andean people of Ecuador.&lt;/p&gt;

The roots, stems and leaves of &lt;em&gt;Oxalis pes-caprae&lt;/em&gt; have high medicinal values and have the function of antiinflammatory and analgesia, clearing heat, removing toxicity. In present study &lt;em&gt;Oxalis pescaprae&lt;/em&gt; belonging to family oxalidaceae evaluated for pharmacological activities like cytotoxicity, phtotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal bioassays. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Cytotoxic activity was performed by brine shrimp bioassay using methodology of Atta- ur- Rahman &lt;em&gt;et al&lt;/em&gt;., 2001. The phytotoxic activity was investigated by applying &lt;em&gt;Lamna minor&lt;/em&gt; (as test species) following Atta-ur-Rahman &lt;em&gt;et al&lt;/em&gt;., 2001. Anti-bacterial screening was conducted following Rathan (2000). Anti-fungal screening was carried out using agar well diffusion method following Perez &lt;em&gt;et al.&lt;/em&gt; (1990) and Atta-ur-Rahman &lt;em&gt;et al&lt;/em&gt;. (1991). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Its ethanolic extract showed highly significant (100%) cytotoxicity with LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 8.98 at 1000 ppm. &lt;em&gt;Lemna minor&lt;/em&gt; phytotoxicity assay showed that &lt;em&gt;O. pes-caprae&lt;/em&gt; chloroform extract showed 90% inhibition at 1000 ppm with FI&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 0.1048. Antibacterial bioassays showed that all the samples of the plant were significant against &lt;em&gt;Xanthomonas, Clavibacter machengnitis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Bacillus&lt;/em&gt; at 1000, 1500 and 2500 ppm doses. Dose dependent antifungal activities against test species (&lt;em&gt;Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; Fusarium solani&lt;/em&gt;) were noticed for all the extracts at 100 and 1000 ppm. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Pharmacological potentials showed that this plant can be used in upcoming time for extracting numerous active constituents for their pharmacological preparations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">705</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Syeda Naila*, Muhammad Ibrar &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The occurrence of the compounds 2, 4 and 5 in the herb reported here for the first time. The ethyl acetate extract showed significant antioxidant activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; = 2.781 mg/ml) and its yielded compound 3 showed moderate antioxidant activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; = 3.25 mg/ml) using DPPH method. The ethyl acetate extract showed better antifungal activity against &lt;em&gt;Aspergillus niger&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Candida albican&lt;/em&gt;s. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Compounds&lt;strong&gt; 2, 4, 5 &lt;/strong&gt;were isolated first time from this plant. The ethyl acetate extract showed significant antioxidant and antifungal activity against&lt;em&gt; A. nigar&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;C. Albicans&lt;/em&gt;.
