The diameter of inhibition zones varied from 12 to 18 mm and from 21 to 35 mm for the extract and plumbagin, respectively. The MIC values ranged from 12.5 to 25 mg\/mL for the extract and 0.78\u20133.12 \u00b5g\/mL for plumbagin. It is therefore suggested that extracts from the stem bark of <jats:italic>Diospyros crassiflora<\/jats:italic> could be used traditionally in the treatment of fungal infections. Compared with ketoconazole used as a standard antifungal, plumbagin could be considered as a promising antifungal agent.
