Bulb and leaf extracts of Pancratium maritimum have purgative effect (Berkov et al.,2004b).
In Turkey, Pancratium maritimum has been reported asetic (Baytop, 1984).
The methanol extract of the bulbs, though devoid of antibacterial activity, showed interestingantifungal activity against four Candida species (Candida guillermondii, Candida krusei,Candida pseudotropicalis and Candida tropicalis), being however, ineffective againstCandida albicans (Sür-Altiner et al., 1999).
