An isocratic high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed, optimized and validated for the determination of nystatin in human saliva (UV and fluorescence detection). A reversed-phase Luna C18 column (25 degrees C), with a mobile phase of MeOH, H2O, and DMF (70:20:10, v/v/v), and a flow-rate of 0.8 ml/min were used. The elution time for nystatin was 5.8+/-0.2 min. Calibration curves in human saliva were linear from 0.78 to 50 microg/ml. Limits of quantification were 0.78 microg/ml and 0.75 microg/ml for UV and fluorescence detection, respectively. The accuracy and precision values of intra- and inter-day variation studies were within acceptable limits, according to FDA guidelines. The described method has proved to be useful to give accurate measurements of nystatin in real samples.

Background: There is ample evidence showing the development of nystatin-resistant strains in patients undergoing malignancy treatment. Amphotericin B is a polyene antifungal drug that combines with ergosterol to cause cell death and is more effective on fungal species than routine antifungals such as nystatin. This study aimed to compare the effect of nystatin and amphotericin B on fungal species isolated from patients before and during head-and-neck radiotherapy.

The polyene antimycotic amphotericin B (AmB) and its liposomal formulation AmBisome belong to the treatment options of invasive aspergillosis caused by . Increasing resistance to AmB in clinical isolates of species is a growing concern, but mechanisms of AmB resistance remain unclear. In this study, we conducted a proteomic analysis of exposed to sublethal concentrations of AmB and AmBisome.

Background: Recently, pyrido[2,3-] pyrimidine, triazolopyrimidine, thiazolopyrimidine, quinoline, and pyrazole derivatives have gained attention due to their diverse biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitubercular, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects.
Objective: The synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds including 5-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-] pyrimidinone (-, , -), 6-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidinone (, , -), 1,2,4-triazole-6-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidinone (-), and pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidine-ethyl-(pyridine)-9-thiaazabenzo[]azulenone () derivatives was performed with high yields while evaluating antimicrobial activities.
Methods: A new series of quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared using a modern style and advanced technology, resulting in high yields of these new compounds.

Essential oils are investigated due to their biological activity, and the Amazon rainforest, with its rich biodiversity, is a promising source of therapeutic compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the essential oil from the leaves of as an antifungal agent, thus contributing to the search for alternatives that can address the growing resistance to conventional antifungals. leaves were collected in the Ecuadorian Amazon and their essential oil was obtained by steam distillation.
