Overview

Randomized trial investigates antifungal properties of mullein oils, highlighting health potential.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the composition and antifungal potential of mullein tissue oils.
  • Oil was extracted from leaf, stem, and root tissues of mullein.
  • Samples were analyzed for phytoconstituents, fatty acids, and antifungal activity using GC‐MS and UHPLC‐QToF‐IMS.
  • Functional groups were characterized by FTIR and fatty acids quantified by NMR.
  • Root oil exhibited the strongest antifungal activity against Candida species with a MIC of 31.2−62.5 µg/mL.
  • Leaf tissue oil had higher antioxidant activity, with notable fatty acid presence including 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid.
  • Metabolite profiling showed significant amino acids and lipids in leaf oil and sugars in root oil.
