Summary, etc. <p>Dandruff is a clinical condition affecting the scalp causing itching and relapsing inflammation. <em>Staphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium acne </em>and <em>Malassezia furfur </em>pathogens are found more and less respectively<em> </em>in the scalps of dandruff subjects. In the present study, a total of 32 plant extracts were screened for their anti-dandruff activity by agar well diffusion method. Among the selected plant extracts of methanol and ethyl acetate, 25 showed significant activity while 7 extracts have not showed activity at a particular concentration. Among all the extracts ethylacetate extract of <em>Cinnamomum zeylanicum </em>and <em>Glycyrrhiza glabra </em>showed very high activity i.e. 18-20 mm while methanolic extract of <em>Punica granatum </em>and<em> Syzygium aromaticum</em> showed moderate activity against all the three pathogens.<em> </em>Thus the active plant extracts can be a potential source for the formulation of natural anti-dandruff agents.</p>
