Article Synopsis
- Antifungal drugs are facing challenges due to increased fungal resistance, prompting the investigation of plant extracts, specifically from Phytolacca tetramera, to enhance antifungal activity and reduce side effects.
- The study combined P. tetramera extracts and compounds like phytolaccoside B with commercial antifungals to assess their effectiveness against Candida strains and aimed at reducing doses to mitigate toxicity while also exploring anti-virulence properties to prevent drug resistance.
- Results indicated the presence of synergistic effects when using the combinations, demonstrating a potential multi-target approach in combating fungal infections.
