The water extract, methanol, free flavonoids and bound flavonoids of Allium sativum, Cymbopogon martinii and Catharanthus roseus were screened for their antimycotic activities using disc diffusion method. They were tested against dermatophytes, isolated from patients having tinea infection. The activities of the extracts were compared with the standard antibiotics. The bound flavonoid extracts ...

In this work, we evaluated the antidermatophytic activities of three resorcinol derivatives that have a history of use in dermo-cosmetic applications to discover molecules with multiple dermatological activities (i.e., multi-target drugs), thereby reducing the cost and time necessary for new drug development. The antidermatophytic activities of the three skin lighteners were evaluated relative ...

Xylocandin is a complex of novel peptides with potent antifungal activity that is produced by Pseudomonas cepacia ATCC 39277. The complex was isolated from the fermentation broth by extraction with butanol-methanol, 9:1, followed by collection of the precipitate formed upon concentration of the solvent extract. Purification was effected by chromatography on reversed phase and size exclusion gel...

The antidermatophytic activity of interpolar methanolic and low polar petroleum ether soxhlet extracts of Sterculia foetida seed was evaluated by agar well diffusion method, The maximum activity was observed in interpolar methanolic extract against C .albicans followed by E. coli, B. Subtilis, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, T. rubrum, M.gypseum, T.mentagrophytes and T.tonsurans. When compared to low...

Luliconazole is a novel topical antifungal imidazole with broad-spectrum and potent antifungal activity used in treatment of superficial mycoses. Superficial mycoses are not fatal, but they constitute a serious problem for patients’quality of life in view of the considerable discomfort and/or cosmetic deformity they cause. These diseases are found worldwide and affect 20 to 25% of the world’s p...
