Some series of N-(5-pyrimidinyl)benzenesulfonamide variously methylated at the ring and/or sulfonamidic nitrogens and substituted at the benzene with NO2 or NH2 were synthesized and studied spectrometrically (N.M.R). When tested on several strains of Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis, some of the compounds exhibited very slight antimycotic activity.

Today, is still the most common cause of both local and life-threatening systemic candidiasis. The spread of resistant fungal strains has resulted in an urgent need to search for new promising antimycotics. Here, we investigated the antifungal action of the tobacco defensin NaD1 against susceptible and resistant to azoles and echinocandins strains of .

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.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D), characterized by insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction, requires continuous advancements in management strategies, particularly in controlling postprandial hyperglycemia to prevent complications. Current antidiabetics, which have α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, have side effects, prompting the search for better alternatives. In addition, diabetes patients are particularly vulnerable to yeast infections because an unusual sugar concentration promotes the growth of spp.

Article Synopsis
- *When exposed to visible light, the azo switch undergoes isomerization, resulting in fluorescence changes that can be easily observed.
- *The research also shows that nanoparticles containing the azo switch can effectively release antimycotics to kill a specific fungus, Rhizoctonia solani, and have a longer holding period compared to traditional antimycotics, suggesting potential for broader drug delivery applications.

Fungi are ubiquitous in the environment and play a key role in the decomposition and recycling of nutrients. On the one hand, their special properties are a great asset for the agricultural and industrial sector, as they are used as source of nutrients, producers of enzymes, pigments, flavorings, and biocontrol agents, and in food processing, bio-remediation and plant growth promotion. On the other hand, they pose a serious challenge to our lives and the environment, as they are responsible for fungal infections in plants, animals and humans.
