The life-threatening mycoses caused by opportunistic fungal pathogens (mainly species from the genus Candida) associated with nosocomial infections, are one of the major health problems in our days. Therefore, it is crucial to identify new compounds, especially natural ones, that are active against the most broaden spectrum of Candida species. Herein, a screening of the antifungal potential of a phenolicextract...
In the present work, the phenolic compounds of Castanea sativa, Filipendula ulmaria and Rosa micrantha flowers from Northeastern Portugal were characterized by HPLC–DAD–ESI/MS. Furthermore, it was performed a screening of their antifungal potential against Candida species (Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis). C. sativa sample gave the highest amount of phenolic comp...
A screening of the antifungal potential of phenolic extract of Cistus ladanifer from Northeast Portugal, against Candida species was performed. The extract was characterized by HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS. Phenolic acids and derivatives, ellagic acid derivatives and flavonoids, such as catechins, flavonols and flavones, were found in the sample, The most abudant group was ellagic acid derivatives in which punicalagin galla...
