Anti- Candida albicans natural products: convergent technologies revolutionizing discovery from bioactivity assessment to targeted mechanisms

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate antifungal efficacy and explore mechanisms of antifungal action of natural products.
• Assessment of antifungal bioactivity from natural products.
• Analysis of mechanisms by which these products exert antifungal action.
• Identification of future research perspectives in antifungal development.
• Natural products displayed significant antifungal efficacy against Candida albicans.
• Identified mechanisms include interference with fungal cell wall synthesis and biofilm formation.
• Highlighted the need for further research to optimize these natural antifungals.
