n -butanol fraction of Terminalia catappa possesses anti-Candida albicans properties and in vivo action on Tenebrio molitor alternative infection model.

Current treatment of Candida infections is threatened by antifungal drug resistance. Thus, medicinal plants have been studied to identify new and highly effective antifungal substances with low toxicity. Here, we showed that the tannin-rich n-butanol fraction of Terminalia catappa (FBuOH) possesses antifungal and antibiofilm properties and protects Tenebrio molitor larvae against Candida albicans infection.

Evaluation of Microbiological Susceptibility and Long-term Adhesive Properties to Dentin of Primers with Terminalia catappa Linn.

Purpose: To investigate the antibacterial effects of Terminalia catappa Linn (TCL) leaf extracts at different concentrations and the effects of these extracts used as primers on the long-term adhesive properties of two universal adhesives.

Materials And Methods: After extract preparation, the antimicrobial and antibacterial activities of TCL against Streptococcus mutans (UA 159) were assessed in microdilution assays to provide the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). Additionally, to provide quantitative data on the ability of TCL extract to reduce cell viability, colony forming units (CFU) were counted.

Ethyl Acetate Fraction of and Its Galloyl-HHDP-Glucose Compound, Alone or in Combination with Fluconazole, Have Antifungal and Antivirulence Properties against spp.

Candidiasis is the most common fungal infection among immunocompromised patients. Its treatment includes the use of antifungals, which poses limitations such as toxicity and fungal resistance. Plant-derived extracts, such as , have been reported to have antimicrobial activity, but their antifungal effects are still unknown.
