Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the chemical composition and the in vitro antifungal activity of the methanolic extracts of two traditional medicinal plant from the South of Arctic Circle: Thymus serpyllum (TS) and Cladonia stellaris (CS). The methanolic extracts of the powders from TS and CS obtained after maceration were used to determine their bioactive potential (phytochemical screening, total polyphenol (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC), condensed tannin (CTC) contents, and UHPLC chemical structure identification). It emerged from the phytochemical screening that, both methanolic extracts form (TS) and (CS) contained alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarins, phenols, terpenoids, steroids and tannins), whilst (TS) extract exhibited the highest TPC, TFC and CTC contents with the values of (174. 50 ± 9. 45 mg EGA/100 g DM), (88. 70 ± 2. 45 mg EQ/100 g DM) (2. 50 ± 0. 50 mg EC/100 g DM), respectively. The antifungal activity was assessed by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using the microdilution method against four fungal species. The results obtained showed that (TS) and (CS) methanolic extracts displayed moderate activities, with MICs varying from 64 to 1024 µg/mL and from 64 to 512 µg/mL respectively, with the best activity observed with (TS) extract against A. niger compared to the tested substances. The UHPLC analysis of the extracts allowed the identification of some potential bioactive compounds, including hitherto described antifungal agents.
