I was determinated the in vitro antifungal activity of ethanolic, methanolic and hydro alcoholic extracts of Hypericum laricifolium (aerial parts), Ilex guayusa loes (leaves), Juglans neotropica Diels (bark), Piper spp. (leaves), Piper lineatum (leaves), Psidium guajava (leaves), Cassia reticulata Wild (whole plant) and Terminalia catappa (leaves); colected in the departments of Amazonas and Cajamarca. The antifungal activity was evaluated by the agar diffusion method against Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404, and the dermatophyte Microsporum canis clinical strain and the Minimun Inhibitory Concentration (CMI) by the microdilution colorimetric method, using as controls ketoconazole and fluconazole. All of extracts showed antifungal activity against C. albicans and M. canis and no activity against Aspergillus niger. The laboratory conditions to determine the Minimun Inhibitory Concentration (CMI) of Candida albicans through the colorimetric microdilution method were: incubation temperature of 37°C, time of incubation of 24 h, final inoculums 0,5-2,5 x 103 cfu/mL and 0,05 mg de resazurin per well; and, for Microsporum canis were: incubation temperature of 37°C, time of incubation of 4 days, final inoculums 1,2-6 x 104 cfu/mL and 0,05 mg de resazurin per well. For microdilution were determinited that 19 (79%), 18 (75%) y 24 (100%) of extracts investigated, showed MICs ≤ 1000 µg/mL, against Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Candida albicans clinic strain and Microsporum canis respectively. The extracts with the best antifungal activity were those Juglans neotropica Diels, Psidium guajava and Terminalia catappa; with MICs < 100 µg/mL. The colorimetric microdilution method using resazurin proved useful for screening antifungal plant extracts. Key words: Antifungal activity, medicinal plants, Amazonas, colorimetric microdilution, Minimal Inhibitory Concentration, Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Microsporum canis, Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404.
