Ellagic Acid Potentiates the Inhibitory Effects of Fluconazole Against .

: Antifungal resistance to azoles, coupled with the increasing prevalence of infections, represents a significant public health challenge and has driven the search for new natural compounds that can act as alternatives or adjuvants to the current antifungals. Ellagic acid (EA) has demonstrated antifungal activity; however, its effects are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the in vitro anti- activity of EA and its ability to potentiate the effects of fluconazole (FLZ) on : The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of EA was determined by broth microdilution and its interaction with FLZ was assessed using a checkerboard assay.

A Comprehensive Review on the Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antiviral, and Antiparasitic Potential of Silybin.

Silybin, a flavonolignan extracted from the seeds of the plant species (L.) Gaertn., has a variety of pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms of clinical interest.

Açaí () Seed Oil and Its Nanoemulsion: Chemical Characterisation, Toxicity Evaluation, Antioxidant and Anticancer Activities.

This study explores a nanoemulsion formulated with açaí seed oil, known for its rich fatty acid composition and diverse biological activities. This study aimed to characterise a nanoemulsion formulated with açaí seed oil and explore its cytotoxic effects on HeLa and SiHa cervical cancer cell lines, alongside assessing its antioxidant and toxicity properties both in vitro and in vivo. Extracted from fruits sourced in Brazil, the oil underwent thorough chemical characterization using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

In Silico and In Vitro Analysis of Sulforaphane Anti- Activity.

Oropharyngeal candidiasis/candidosis is a common and recurrent opportunistic fungal infection. Fluconazole (FLZ), one of the most used and effective antifungal agents, has been associated with a rise of resistant species in immunocompromised patients undergoing prophylactic therapy. Sulforaphane (SFN), a compound from cruciferous vegetables, is an antimicrobial with yet controversial activities and mechanisms on fungi.

Genomic Analysis of ATCC 23271, a Potential Probiotic Strain with Anti- Activity.

(ATCC 23271) was originally isolated from the human intestine and has displayed antimicrobial activity, primarily against species. Complete genome sequencing and comparative analyses were performed to elucidate the genetic basis underlying its probiotic potential. The ATCC 23271 genome was found to contain 2,193,335 bp, with 2123 protein-coding sequences.

Antifungal and Antivirulence Activities of Hydroalcoholic Extract and Fractions of Leaves against Vaginal Isolates of Species.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a common fungal infection in women. In this study, hydroalcoholic extract (PiHE) and its fractions were evaluated for antifungal and antivirulence activities against vaginal species. Dichloromethane (DCMF) and ethyl acetate fractions (EAF) obtained from PiHE effectively inhibited the pathogen.
