ABSTRACT

A synergistic effect was achieved by combining previously produced metal complexes with extracts from medicinal herbs known for their inherent antifungal properties, including Carica papaya, Moringa oleifera, Saraca indica, and Rauwolfia serpentina L. A comparative analysis showed that the antimycotic activity of medicinal plant extracts combined with metal complexes was greater than that of either plant extracts or individual metal complexes. Notably, when coupled with extracts of Moringa oleifera and cadmium ferrocyanide, these compounds had the most antimycotic effects against Fusarium oxysporum. These results highlight the potential of metal complexes and medicinal plant extracts as long-term disease treatment strategies by demonstrating how their synergistic interactions enhance antifungal activity.
