The goal of the current study was to scrutinize the antifungal activity of the crude extracts and subsequent solvent fractions of different parts of Pistacia integerrima against selected pathogenic fungi using agar tube dilution method. The results illustrated susceptibility of extracts/fractions of different parts of the plant against Microsporum canis, Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium solani. However, the rest of fungi were not sensitive to extracts/fractions. In conclusions, our study provided a strong evidence for the isolation of secondary metabolites from different parts of the plant as antifungal.
