OBJECTIVES The susceptibility of Candida albicans to catechin under varying pH conditions and the synergism of the combination of catechin and antimycotics were evaluated. METHOD Antifungal activity was determined by broth dilution and calculation of cfu. RESULTS The antifungal activity of catechin was pH dependent. The concentration of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) causing 90% growth inh...

the use of natural products as medicinal agents presumably predates the earliest recorded history. ocimum sanctum l., is a plant which is used in several traditional medicine systems to cure various diseases. in this study aerial parts of ocimum sanctum were collected on august 2014 from shahr-e-rey in iran. fresh and dry partsof plants essential oils were extracted with hydro-distillation and ...

In order to use natural compounds in controlling plant pests and diseases, many researchers in recent years have studied the antifungal effects of essential oils and plant extracts.  The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antifungal effects of Echium khuzestanium and marubbium anisodan extracts. After extraction and preparation of di...

Antifungal drugs that already exist have several side effects, so it needs to be developed a new drug from natural ingredients. Garlic and black garlic are known organosulfur compounds can used as an antifungal. This study aimed determine the effectiveness of (A. sativum) extract in inhibiting growth Candida albicans. 3 groups, namely control group, group by using concentration 100%, 75%, 50%, ...

In this study, we investigated the antifungal effects of silver nanoparticles (Ag-Nps) on Candida albicans (ATCC 5027), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ATCC 5027). Investigating method by using Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) technique, some of drugs including Amphotericin B, Fluconazole and synthesized Ag-Nps have been obtained on the fungi and the changes on membrane reactions of yeasts have...

the simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. in this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. the effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. the results show signi...
