Normal 0false false falseIN X-NONE X-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4A study to investigate the antifungal activity of soxhletion extract and maceration extract of the L itsea sp leaf plant against Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum has been done. Litsea sp plant is used for anti-inflammation. Extraction of Litseasp leaf was conducted with soxhletation and maceration method using ethanol 70% solvent. The dilution tube method was used for detecting antifungal activity as concentration extract 40%; 30%; 20%; 10%; 5%; 2.5%; 125%; 0.625%; 0.3125%; 0.15625%; 0.078125; 0.0%. The results of this study indicated that soxhletion and maceration extract of Litsea sp leaf have antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum . The minimal inhibiting concentration of soxhletion killing concentration of 5% against Candida albicans ; wh ereas minimal inhibiting concentration at concentration of 1.25% against Trichophyton rubrum . The minimal inhibiting concentration and minimal killing concentration extract at concentration of 10% against Candida albicans, while minimal inhibiting concentration and minimal killing concentration at concentration of 2.5% against Trichophyton rubrum .
