The antifungal activity and mechanisms of action of quantified extracts from berries, leaves and roots of Phytolacca tetramera.

ConclusionsStudies of the anti-Candida activity of P. tetramera extracts led to the selection of PtDEb as the most suitable extract, confirming the antifungal properties of the threatened species P. tetramera. The new data give a valuable reason for the definitive protection of this sp. and its natural environment thus allowing further studies for the future development of an Herbal Medicinal Antifungal Product.Graphical Abstract
