Synergistic potential of α-Phellandrene combined with conventional antifungal agents and its mechanism against antibiotic resistant Candida albicans by Riya Bhattacharya, Prashant Sharma, Debajyoti Bose, Manish Singh

“…Further, the synergistic potential was evaluated by employing a time kill assay and a checkerboard technique, respectively, which revealed after 16 h, the colony count of C. albicans cells ATCC90028 (2.56 ± 0.33) and MTCC277 (2.53 ± 0.33) dropped by a log10 when treated with a combination of α-Phellandrene and Fluconazole and α-Phellandrene and amphotericin B exhibited synergy against both C. albicans strains ATCC90028 and MTCC277 (2.42 ± 0.28 and 2.00 ± 0.21) log10 reduction in colony count, respectively, Additionally, 16–624-fold increase in the antifungal efficacy of clinical medicines, with total cell death occurring after 16 h. α-Phellandrene and antifungal drugs were tested in combination with the osmoprotectant test, ergosterol test and FESEM observations to determine their modes of action. …”
