In this study, 14 different 2-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazole-5-yl)thio]-1-(phenyl)ethanone derivatives (1-14) were synthesized. The structures of the obtained compounds were elucidated using IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and FAB(+)-MS spectral data and elemental analyses results. The compounds were screened for their anticandidal activity using the microbroth dilution method and for their cytotoxic effects using the MTT assay against NIH/3T3 cells. Some of the compounds were found to be potent anticandidal agents with weak cytotoxicities.

Antimicrobial peptides are crucial components of the immune systems of both vertebrates and invertebrates. Here, defensins, the most studied class of antimicrobial molecules in arthropods were investigated in four coleopteran insect species: (DeGeer, 1774), (Linnaeus, 1767), (Linnaeus, 1758), and (Brullé, 1832). The peptides synthesized with over 95% purity and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated by MIC test method.

is an emerging multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen that causes candidiasis, superficial infections on the mucosa, nails or skin, and life-threatening candidemia in deep tissue when disseminated through the bloodstream. Recently, there has been a sharp rise in resistant strains, posing a considerable clinical challenge for the treatment of candidiasis. There has been a resurged interest in the pharmacological properties of essential oils and their active components, for example, monoterpenes with alcohol (-OH) and aldehyde (-CHO) groups.

Unlabelled: is the most common, globally detected nosocomial fungal pathogen with multi-drug resistance. The high prevalence of infections has raised concern about drug resistance and adverse effects, compounded by a lack of effective alternative drugs. Bioengineered nanomaterials play a significant role in combating nosocomial infections.

Introduction: The study aims to investigate the antifungal efficacy of albedo extract of Punica grantum on candida albicans by evaluating the inhibitory capacity of alcoholic albedo extracts by disc diffusion method and by comparing the antifungal efficacy of alcoholic extract of albedo with clotrimazole and ethanol.
Methods: Using a conventional disc diffusion method, the effectiveness of Punica Granatum albedo extract against Candida albicans was assessed and evaluated depending on the presence or absence of inhibition zones, as well as the average diameter of inhibition zones. Albedo extract of Punica granatum serial dilutions were prepared ranging from 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and its antifungal efficacy was tested against Candida albicans in comparison with clotrimazole and ethanol.
