Antifungal Activity of Natural Naphthoquinones and Anthraquinones against Madurella mycetomatis

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 20, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Eumycetoma, the fungal form of the neglected tropical disease mycetoma, is a crippling infectious disease with low response rates to currently available antifungal drugs. In this study, a series of natural naphthoquinones and anthraquinones was evaluated for their activity against Madurella mycetomatis, which is the most common causative agent
