Antifungal Response of Phenols and Crude Extracts Isolated From Some Thelypteroid Ferns

Key Points

• Antifungal response reveals significant activity against specific fungal strains, highlighting the potential of these extracts.
• Key evidence includes a strong antifungal effect with crude extracts showing up to a 70% inhibition rate.
• Observational analysis involved testing phenols and crude extracts derived from various thelypteroid ferns against pathogenic fungi.
• This work supports further exploration of plant-derived antifungals, which may provide alternatives to synthetic drugs.
