In 2017, one billion people contracted fungal infection with 11.5 million life-threatening and 1.5 death per year. Orchid is a plant that grows in tropical sub-tropical countries, the same places where occurrence high. On previous studies reported orchid contains alkaloids polyphenols such as flavonoid, phenol acid. The review aimed to identify potential antifungal resource. A scoping was used....

Of all the pathogen recognition receptor families, C-type lectin receptor (CLR)-induced intracellular signal cascades are indispensable for the initiation and regulation of antifungal immunity. Ongoing experiments over the last decade have elicited diverse CLR functions and novel regulatory mechanisms of CLR-mediated-signaling pathways. In this review, we highlight novel insights in antifungal ...

BACKGROUND Sales data indicate a major increase in the prescription of antifungal drugs in the last two decades. Many new agents for systemic use that only recently have become available are likely to be prescribed intensively in acute care hospitals. Sales data do not adequately describe the developments of drug use density. Given the concerns about the potential emergence of antifungal drug r...

BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disorder of the nose and sinuses. Because fungi were postulated as a potential cause of CRS in the late 1990s, contrasting articles have advocated and refuted the use of antifungal agents in its management. Although good research shows an interaction of the immune system with fungus in CRS, e.g., allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS), this d...

A new series of quinoline derivatives incorporated to glycosides and biologically active heterocyclic moieties were synthesized starting with 6-bromo-4-hydroxyquinaldine (6-bromo-4-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline) compound 1. Some of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Most of the tested compounds exhibited potential antibacterial activity again...
