- Candida species are prevalent causes of fungal infections, highlighting the need for new treatments due to the limited effectiveness of current antifungals.
- The F2 fraction from Stryphnodendron adstringens demonstrated strong antifungal properties, significantly reducing Candida tropicalis growth and its ability to form biofilms and adhere to cells.
- In vivo tests using Tenebrio molitor larvae showed that F2 treatment improved survival rates in infected larvae, suggesting its potential as a novel antifungal agent.
