The current study focused on the phytochemical and antifungal properties of Tripidium bengalense's aqueous ethanolic leaves. The Tripidium benghalense leaves came from the UP-West area. They were recognized and verified by Dr. Alok Srivastava, a botanist (ref. number. RU/PS/PI/2-25-32). The leaves were cleaned to remove dust and allowed to dry at room temperature in the shade. The dried leaves were subsequently ground into coarse and fine powders. For fifteen days, the powder was weighed and slowly stirred while soaking in ethanol and distilled water separately. A rotating evaporator was used to dry the mixed slurry that was produced. Extraction of the leaves of Tripidium benghalense plant through cold maceration process using aqueous and ethanol solvent, separately. Preliminary phytochemical screening was performed. Evaluation of anti-fungal activity through well diffusion method against following microbial strains i.e., Aspergillus niger, Penicillium notatum, Candida albicans, Rhizopus species. ethanolic leaves of Saccharum benghalense exhibited much significant zone inhibition as 5.83 mm, 5.11 mm, 5.62 mm, and 6.79 mm, respectively. It can be concluded that the anti-fungal activity was much significant against Rhizopus sp. Its anti-fungal potential might be due to the destruction of cell wall and/ nucleic acid of fungal strains. In conclusion, aqueous and ethanolic leaves extract of Tripidium benghalense exhibited a significant anti-fungal potential through the destruction of A. niger, P. notatum, C. albicans and Rhizopus species. It could stop the growth and proliferation of microorganism which are deadly to us.
