Fluconazole in combination with compounds of natural and pharmaceutical origin: A study on their antimicrobial activity against Candida auris
Background
Candidiasis is a prevalent and clinically significant fungal infection. Candida auris has emerged as an important etiological agent due to its high transmissibility, potential to cause severe infections, and resistance to multiple antifungal drugs. Combining fluconazole with other compounds to achieve additive or synergistic antifungal effects has been proposed as a promising strategy for managing these infections.
Aims
This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal effects of fluconazole in combination with seven natural compounds (berberine chloride, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, catechin monohydrate, epigallocatechin gallate, magnolol, osthole, and quercetin hydrate) and seven drugs (amiodarone, amlodipine, budesonide, doxycycline, ibuprofen, minocycline, and tigecycline) against C. auris.
Methods
The antifungal activity of fluconazole alone and in combination with selected compounds and drugs was analyzed to identify additive or synergistic interactions against 21 isolates of C. auris. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of fluconazole were determined and compared across combinations.
Results
Fluconazole combined with magnolol, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, or quercetin hydrate showed additive effects against 38%, 9.5%, and 2% of isolates, respectively, and a synergistic effect with quercetin hydrate in 19% of isolates. Fluconazole MICs were reduced from >64 μg/mL to 1–16 μg/mL with magnolol in 19 isolates, to 1–32 μg/mL with caffeic acid phenethyl ester in 17 isolates, and to 1–2 μg/mL with quercetin hydrate in 8 isolates.
Conclusions
These findings highlight the potential of fluconazole combined with magnolol, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, or quercetin hydrate for managing C. auris infections. Further in vivo studies are warranted to assess their therapeutic applicability.
期刊介绍:
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología (Ibero-American Journal of Mycology) is the official journal of the Asociación Española de Micología, Asociación Venezolana de Micología and Asociación Argentina de Micología (The Spanish, Venezuelan, and Argentinian Mycology Associations). The Journal gives priority to publishing articles on studies associated with fungi and their pathogenic action on humans and animals, as well as any scientific studies on any aspect of mycology. The Journal also publishes, in Spanish and in English, original articles, reviews, mycology forums, editorials, special articles, notes, and letters to the editor, that have previously gone through a scientific peer review process.
