Pseudolaric Acid B Combats Drug‐Resistant Candida albicans Infection via Dual‐Action Mechanisms of Direct Antifungals and Vaginal Microbiota Restoration

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
We propose a novel therapeutic approach against fungal infection: Pseudolaric acid B directly eradicates C. albicans via Erg11 inhibition and uniquely, restores vaginal microecological homeostasis by promoting probiotic lactobacilli, addressing both the pathogen and the dysbiotic environment.
