Abstract
Cissus quadrangularis is a herb claimed to be used for the treatment of various diseases by common
man. This plant possesses immense medicinal potential and since there are not many scientific studies
carried out on the stem parts of this plan, the biological evaluation of the stems was taken up. The
ethanol extract of stems of cissus quadrangularis was analyzed for its antifungal activity by disc
diffusion method. The ethanol extract showed antifungal activity against Monoscus ruber comparable to
that of standard clotrimazole..
