Abstract:
The developing resistance in fungi has become a key challenge, which is being faced nowadays with the available antifungal agents in the market. Further search for novel compounds from different sources has been explored to meet this problem. The current review describes and highlights recent advancement in the antifungal drug aspects from plant and marine based sources. The current available antifungal agents act on specific targets on the fungal cell wall, like ergosterol synthesis, chitin biosynthesis, sphingolipid synthesis, glucan synthesis etc. We discuss some of the important anti-funga

Abstract:
In light of rising public health threats like antifungal and antimicrobial resistance, alongside the slowdown in new antimicrobial development, biomimetics have shown promise as therapeutic agents. Multidrug-resistant fungi pose significant challenges as they quickly develop resistance, making traditional antifungals less effective. Developing new antifungals is also complicated by the need to target eukaryotic cells without harming the host. This review examines biomimetic antifungal materials that mimic natural biological mechanisms for targeted and efficient action. It covers a range of age

Infection is a disease that is easily found in tropical areas such as Indonesia. The causes of infection that are easily found include infections due to fungi. One of the fungi that causes many infections is the Candida fungus. Tropical drugs commonly used to treat cutaneous candidiasis include nystatin, clotrimazole, miconazole, ketoconazole and other azoles. However, antifungal drugs have limitations, such as severe side effects, poor penetration into certain tissues, and the emergence of resistance.

Abstract:
Candidiasis is an acute and subacute fungal infection caused by the Candida group, especially Candida albicans. Infectious diseases due to microbes can be treated using modern drugs, namely antifungals. In some cases, antimicrobials often develop resistance due to improper administration. The occurrence of such resistance encourages further research on new active ingredients that can be used as antimicrobial alternatives, especially from plant sources containing flavonoids. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of antimicrobial content of ethanol extract 70% of Telang flowers on

The increase in strains resistant to conventional antifungals means that there is a need for studies related to alternative therapeutic practices, such as medicinal plants. This study aims to evaluate the chemical profile and fungicidal activity of the nanoemulsion of the essential oil obtained from Ba-har (Syrian pepper). The phytochemical profile of the plant material was performed based on the methodology of Matos (2009). For extraction of essential oil, 100g of plant material was used, with the isolation of essential oil by the hydrodistillation technique conducted at 100 °C / 3h. To quant

The growth in demand for cosmetic, graft and organ transplant surgical procedures, the increased use of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agents, as well as multidrug resistance are some of the factors responsible for the marked rise in fungal infection rates in recent years. Consequently, there have been renewed calls from both the public and private sectors for new and improved drug targets to replace existing antifungal therapies, many of which have been in clinical circulation for several decades.
