Antifungal activity of guanidine compounds. [PDF]
Guanidinic compounds are a class of compounds distributed in nature but also synthesized in vitro with a wide variety of applicability. One of the potentials of those molecules is antimicrobial activity. In that sense, although mainly limited to immunocompromised people, fungi pathogens are a cause of concern, even more so after the COVID-19 pandemic ...
