to test the in vitro sensitivity of two fungal strains of Sclerotium rolfsii to extracts of Zanthoxylum gilletii. Ethanolic extract improved 8 times the inhibitory activity of the aqueous extract. The MIC and MFC of St and Sv were 100 mg / ml and 200 mg / ml for the QAR and 12.5 mg / ml and 25 mg / ml for EETH. Concerning sclerotia, the MIC was 6,25 mg / ml for both strains. The MFC was 12.5 mg / ml and 25 mg / ml for St and Sv strains respectively Conclusion and Application : Rural people of Agboville department hold a good knowledge of plants used in the fight against skin diseases. Zanthoxylum gilletii, one of the most cited plant has antifungal activity against Sclerotium rolfsii . It is a fungicide which can be used in biological control against soil fungi.
The use of plants in traditional medicine become very common nowadays throughout the world and in developing countries in particular. The current study was carried out aiming to evaluate the cytotoxicity of Mallotus oppositifolius (Geisel.) Müll.-Arg (Euphorbiaceae) and Enantia polycarpa (DC) Engl. and Diels (Annonaceae) two medicinal plants mostly used for human traditional medicine to treat diarrhea in Côte d'Ivoire on Human Foreskin Fibroblast (HFF) cells. These plants were selected after ethno-botanical investigations in southern Côte d'Ivoire. Therefore, The results proved that the ethanolic extract of Enantia polycarpa showed the biggest yield (56,4%). The 70 % éthanolic extract of Mallotus oppositifolius is not cytotoxic at 1000 µg / ml concentration, but mitogen. Our study has shown that the ethanolic extract of Mallotus oppositifolius stimulates HFF cells (131% of viability confluents cells and 156% of viability cells in division). While Enantia polycarpa seems cytotoxic on HFF cells at 1000 µg / ml concentration (36% of viability confluents cells and 55% of viability cells in division).

30The study revealed that the moderate use of these medicinal plants only represents a limited risk of toxicity.
