Quinoxaline derivatives are a group of small molecules that showed a promising antimicrobial activity. This study aimed to investigate the fungicidal effects of 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol against <i>Candida</i> in comparison with Amphotericin B <i>in vitro</i> as a reference. Also, we aim to assess the efficacy of 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol <i>in vivo</i> using mice oral candidiasis model. Fifty-six <i>Candida</i> isolates were subjected to susceptibility testing by broth microdilution method for 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol and Amphotericin B. Therefore, Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were assessed and compared. The oral candidiasis mice model was used to evaluate the activity of 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol <i>in vivo</i>. Microbiological evaluation of progression and ELISA were used in this study. 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol was more effective than Amphotericin B against most clinical isolates of <i>Candida albicans</i>. Higher effectiveness was seen against <i>Candida glabrata</i> and <i>Candida parapsilosis</i> isolates. However, the efficiency against <i>Candida tropicalis</i> isolates varies. 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol was also effective against <i>Pichia kudriavzevii</i> and <i>Clavispora lusitaniae</i>. 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol showed a good efficacy in mice model against <i>C. albicans</i> cells ATCC 10231. 3-hydrazinoquinoxaline-2-thiol has shown promising antifungal and anti-inflammatory activity against different <i>Candida</i> species.

In this experiment, used seven treatments in different combination in normal soil, were used as growth media for the <i>Terminalia arjuna</i> seedling. T3 (60% entisol) found the best as it gave the highest biomass in the species regardless of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) treatment. AMF treatment enhanced the growth and biomass of plants significantly in all the given treatments. AMF colonization observed a maximum in tertiary roots. T1 (100% entisol soil) exhibited the highest degree of AMF colonization in tertiary roots, resulting in the highest mycorrhiza dependency of plants for this soil. The addition of normal soil to entisol soil was found to decrease the bulk density, resulting in increased root diameter, and T3 plants exhibited the highest biomass and AMF compatibility for <i>T. arjuna</i> species. The <i>T. arjuna</i> plant's growth and biomass responded positively to AMF in all types of treatments. The plant's growth and biomass were highest in the T3 treatment, which had a bulk density of 1.50 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. In this study, we combined the entisol with mycorrhizal inoculation of the nursery growing medium to promote plant growth and biomass, improve the plant's ability to hold water and absorb nutrients, and lower the entisol's bulk density.
