Antifungal Activity of Maytenin and Pristimerin [PDF]

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2012
Fungal infections in humans have increased alarmingly in recent years, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Among the infections systemic candidiasis, aspergillosis, cryptococcosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, and histoplasmosis mortality are more prevalent and more severe in humans.

Tiny but mighty, an exploration of microbes and plants as sources of small novel bioactive compounds against invasive mycoses.

SURE Journal: (Science Undergraduate Research Experience Journal), 2023
Despite the high mortality rate involved with invasive cerebral mycoses, there is a relative lack of research available around antifungals capable of crossing the blood brain barrier. In this study the metabolites of four plants (Crocus vernus, Miniature

Rhizobacteria of Maize and Their Antifungal Activities [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1987
During the growing season of 1984, the rhizobacteria (including organisms from the rhizosphere soil, the rhizoplane, and internal root zones) of 47 maize plants (two varieties) sampled from different locations in France and at different growth stages were inventoried. Isolates were characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity of Benztropolone [PDF]

Nature, 1950
FOLLOWING the suggestion of Dewar1, it is now generally accepted that the mould metabolic products, stipitatic acid, puberulic acid and puberulonic acid are derivatives of tropolone2. Erdtman and Gripenberg3 have shown that α-, β- and γ-thujaplicins from Thuja plicata, the western red cedar tree, are, respectively, α-, β- and γ-isopropyltropolones.

Antifungal Activity of Nonantifungal Drugs

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2003
The antifungal activity of synthetic, nonchemotherapeutic compounds, antineoplastic agents and antibacterial drugs, such as sulphonamides, has been known since the early 20th century (1932). In this context, the term "nonantifungal" is taken to include a variety of compounds that are employed in the management of pathological conditions of nonfungal ...
