The aim of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity and the toxicity of ellagic acid (EA) using a model. bacteria were inoculated into Toll heterozygous flies. Survival curves were obtained for the evaluation of the antimicrobial effect and toxicity of EA. A protective effect of EA against fungal infection in was observed at nontoxic concentrations. This study showed that EA is a promising tool for the treatment of candidiasis.
本研究旨在评估鞣花酸(EA)的抗真菌活性和毒性。采用 Toll 杂合果蝇模型进行研究。将细菌接种到 Toll 杂合果蝇中,评估 EA 的抗菌效果和毒性。结果表明,在非毒性浓度下,EA 对果蝇的真菌感染具有保护作用。本研究表明,EA 是治疗念珠菌病的一种有前途的工具。
