Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the antifungal evolution against fungal nail infection in spices (celery, coriander, fennel and cumin) extracts. In this study antifungal activity of cumin, celery, fennel and coriander extracts were evaluated against isolated fungal species from soil and infected nails from the person who suffered oncomycosis disease. A. niger, A. flavus, A.fumigatus and Trichophyton rubrum were isolated form soil and infected nail sample respectively. Antifungal detection of spices was done against fungal species by agar well diffusion method and determined their MIC values .For identification of the bioactive components of spices extracts chromatography technique was done. Due to this antifungal activity we will cure from oral drugs causes disorders, inflammation in liver or gastrointestinal disorders and so on. Some small children are targeted by Oncomycosis are not capable of eating tablets or oral syrups are cured by this type antifungal agent.
