Inhibitory effect of standardized extract and fractions of Nigella sativa L. on nystatin susceptible and clinically nystatin resistant Candida albicans.
INTRODUCTION
Candidiasis infection is caused by different species of Candida, which are characterized by host immunologic weakness. Black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa) have shown inhibitory effect against Candida albicans. In this work, the inhibitory effect of standardized extract and different fractions of Nigella sativa seeds has been evaluated on nystatin susceptible.
MATERIALS AND METHOD
Canadida albicans (NSCA) with ATCC 76645 and nystatin resistant Candida albicans (NRCA) was prepared from oral samples of HIV individuals. Total extract and different fractions of N. sativa were prepared using maceration and sonication methods. Thymoquinone (TQ) content of the plant was determined by spectrophotometry. Total extract (TTE) and the fractions along with TQ were evaluated on NSCA and NRCA by microdilution method. TQ content of the plant was 0.92±0.37g/100g dried extract. The least MIC and MFC (62.5 and 125 µg/ml respectively) was due to petroleum ether fraction (PEF) against both NSCA and NRCA followed by chloroform fraction (CHF) with MIC and MFC of 125 and 250 µg/ml. TQ exhibited MIC of 0.78 and 3.12 µg/ml against NSCA and NRCA which was stronger than nystatin (MIC of 2 and 16 µg/ml). Results Thymoquinone was detected in the PEF and CHF.
CONCLUSION
Considering more inhibitory effects of PEF and CHF than TTE, can conclude that active components of the plant belong to non-polar compounds. PEF showed identical inhibitory effect on NRCA and NSCA that is valuable result for finding novel medicaments against NRCA infections.
