In this study, three pyrimethanil grafted chitosan (PML-g-CS) derivatives were obtained. The structures of the conjugates were confirmed by FT-IR, (1)H NMR, and EA. The grafting ratios were measured by HPLC. Antifungal properties of pyrimethanil grafted chitosan (PML-g-CS) derivatives against the plant pathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Gibberella zeae were investigated at concentrations o...

They have effective substances for antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, hypolipedemic, antithrombotic and hypotensive activities (Wasser et al., 2000). In addition, they have high economic value because of their edibility and the enzymes they produce are very important for both basic research purposes and industrial applications (Ul...

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were obtained from vegetable oils of soybean, corn and sunflower. The current study was focused on evaluating the antifungal activity of FAMEs mainly against Paracoccidioides spp., as well as testing the interaction of these compounds with commercial antifungal drugs and also their antioxidant potential. FAMEs presented small IC50 values (1.86-9.42 μg/mL). All t...

An international interlaboratory proficiency testing program for the measurement of antifungal drugs was initiated in 2007. This first round was limited to azole antifungals: fluconazole, itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole. The results demonstrate the need for and utility of an ongoing proficiency testing program to further improve the analytical methods for ro...

results the results of energy-dispersive x-ray demonstrated that the purified nps consisted of only se. in addition, transmission electron micrographs showed that 120- to 140-nm spherical se nps were the most common. an antifungal assay was performed with a standard clinical and laboratory standards institute broth microdilution method. minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) measurements of the...

The European Paediatric Mycology Network (EPMyN) was launched in 2014 to create a European platform for research and education in the field of paediatric mycology. The EPMyN aims to address the lack of paediatric specific evidence and knowledge needed to (1) improve the management and outcome of invasive fungal infections in children and neonates and to (2) enhance and develop paediatric antifu...

aspergillus terreus is emerging as an etiologic agent of invasive aspergillosis among patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy, haematopoetic stem-cell transplantation, or solid organ transplantation worldwide. infections caused by aspergillus terreus has become important due to less susceptibility to antifungal drags, resistant to amphotericin b and therefore, poor clinical outcome and higher m...

the series of 3-(substitutedphenyl)-n-(4h-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)acrylamide compounds were prepared byreaction of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole with acetyl chloride followed by claisen-schmidt condensation reactionwith different aromatic aldehydes. the structures of new compounds were confirmed by ir, 1h-nmr and13c-nmr spectral data. anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities were evaluated and compared wi...
