[Antifungal activity of the components of the drug cerbiden of plant origin].

Complex drug cerbiden has been studied in vitro for the antifungal activity of its components. It has been established that the spectrum of antifungal effect and activity of cerbiden, with respect to fungi conditionally pathogenic for people, is determined by antibiotic compounds--aromatic carbohydrate phenylheptatryin and sesquiterpene phenol cernusol. They process a spectrum of antifungal activity analogous to cerbiden and activity close to Candida spp., some basidial yeast, dermatophytes, a number of Mucorales.
