Buccal candidiasis has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, with being the primary causative organism. While systemic fluconazole is an effective treatment, its use is associated with adverse effects such as gastric upset, hepatic failure, and potential drug interactions. Therefore, the development of local fluconazole treatment presents a promising solution to these challenges.

Fungal infections with high mortality rates represent an increasing health risk. The antifungal protein 2 (NFAP2) is a small, cysteine-rich, cationic protein exhibiting potent anti- activity. As the underlying mechanism, pore formation has been demonstrated; however, molecular level details on its membrane disruption action are lacking.

Antimicrobial peptides are promising alternatives to classical antibiotics. Their microbicidal activity can arise from different mechanisms, one of which is known as nutritional immunity and has metal micronutrients and metal-binding biomolecules as its main players. Calcitermin is an antimicrobial peptide and an effective metal chelator.

Department of Food Science, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan.
Background: Due to its prevalence, recurrence, and the emergence of drug-resistance, vaginitis significantly impacts the well-being of women. Although cinnamon essential oil (CEO) possesses antifungal activity, its hydrophobic properties limit its clinical application.
Purpose: To overcome this challenge, a nanoemulsification technology was employed to prepare cinnamon essential oil-nanoemulsion (CEO@NE), and its therapeutic efficacy and action mechanism for vaginitis was investigated in vivo and in vitro.
