Effect of usnic acid on Candida orthopsilosis and C. parapsilosis.

Regina Helena Pires¹, Rodrigo Lucarini, Maria Jose Soares Mendes-Giannini.

Abstract

The activity of usnic acid against Candida orthopsilosis and Candida parapsilosis on planktonic and biofilm conditions was investigated by using a broth microdilution and microplate methods. Potent in vitro activities against different Candida species were obtained. The metabolic activity of sessile cells of C. parapsilosis complex was reduced by 80% at four times the 80% inhibitory concentration. The in vitro studies support further efforts to determine whether usnic acid can be used clinically to cure patients with Candida infections.
