Abstract

Dry powdered materials of flowers and seeds of D. regia were sequentially soxhlet extracted with various
solvents to isolate metabolite-rich fractions such as flavonoids, anthraquinones and sterols and also evaluate for
antifungal activity against Aspargillus niger, A. flavus, Rhizopus bataticola and Fusarium auxisporum by agar disk
diffusion method. In both plant parts, flavonoids showed maximum antifungal activity against A. flavus.
