Fungal infections that occur in the skin and nails were caused by fungi such as Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Aloe vera contains saponins and acemannan that were effective as an antifungal. This study aims to determine the effect of carbopol concentration variation on aloe vera gel to antifungal activity of Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.Aloe vera powder was obtained from freeze drying aloe vera juice which had been frozen. Aloe vera powder was formulated in gel form using carbopol base with concentration 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; and 2.0 %w/w. The aloe vera gel was tested for its physical properties and then tested the antifungal activity using the diffusion method of wells.The result of evaluation of physical properties showed the high concentration of carbopol then pH, viscosity, adhesiveness increased, and spreading capacity decreased. The results of antifungal activity test showed that aloe vera powder had activity on Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes with inhibition zone of 15 ± 3 mm and 13 ± 0,5 mm. Aloe vera gel test results with variation of carbopol concentration 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; and 2.0 %w/w did not affect the antifungal activity of Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.

Background: As per the World Health Organization survey, it has been found that dermatophyte infections are affecting around one-fourth of the world population. The dermatophytes are commonly keratinophilic in nature which can multiply and invade the keratinized tissues and affect various parts of the human body like nails, skin, and hair. The luliconazole is an antifungal drug utilized against dermatophytes which causes athlete's foot and ringworm etc. fungal infections of the skin or nails caused by Candida albicans (C.P. Robin) Berkhout and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Robin) Blanchard. Objective: The study aimed to develop the luliconazole topical cream with turmeric oil and penetration enhancer to improve permeability and enhance antifungal activity. Methods: To prepare the luliconazole topical cream, various compositions of formulation were melted and mixed with varying concentrations of turmeric oil. The oil, drug, and aqueous phases were prepared separately and mixed stepwise in a vessel under continuous stirring at control conditions. Result: The optimized LC2 cream was showed pH 6.45±0.12, which is considered suitable to avoid irritation upon topical application. The LC2 cream formulation also showed significantly (p<0.05) more permeability with a permeation flux (0.347 mg/cm2/h) against an aqueous suspension of the drug (0.215 mg/cm2/h). The LC2 cream was followed the Higuchi model and showed the drug release from cream via a diffusion mechanism with super case II transport mechanism. Furthermore, the antifungal activity of optimized cream was found good than marketed cream. Conclusion: It is concluded that the prepared luliconazole cream can be an effective anti-fungal treatment with enhanced drug delivery into the skin to treat athlete's foot and ringworm etc. caused by dermatophytes namely C. albicans and Trichophyton spp.

Candida albicans and Cryptoccocus neoformans are opportunistic pathogenic fungi that cause infectious diseases that are the world's biggest health problems. The use of antibiotics is one way to overcome the spread of the infection and cause microbial resistance. Ganoderma is one of the many macrophages found on Lombok's island, and studies of its antifungal activity have not been carried out. The purpose of this study was to determine the antifungal potential and the effect of different concentrations of ethanolic extracts of three Ganoderma species on C. albicans and C. neoformans. Ganoderma samples were obtained from Suranadi Taman Wisata Alam (TWA), Sesaot TWA, Tunak Mountain TWA, Kerandangan TWA, and Pusuk Forest. Ganoderma extraction was carried out by the maceration method using ethanol 95% solvent. The extract concentrations used are 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%. This research was conducted using the wells method with metronidazole as a positive control and 50% DMSO as a negative control. The parameter measured is the large diameter of the inhibition zone formed around the well. The results obtained are the three species of Ganoderma have antifungal activity against test fungi, and different levels of concentration affect inhibition. The amount of the inhibition zone is directly proportional to the high concentration of the extract. All three Ganoderma species are more effective in inhibiting the growth of C. neoformans compared with Candida albicans

Fungal infections with candida species are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Situation is further worsened by increasing resistance to antifungal drugs. In this study, we sought to investigate the antifungal activity of peppermint oil against candida albicans of urinary tract candidiasis in females from Syria. An in vitro study was carried out using the following Candida albicans strains involved in urinary tract candidiasis using well diffusion (WD) testing: Candida albicans (ATCC 90028) and 15 strains were compiled from Aleppo university Hospital. It was taken from women having urinary tract candidiasis. The antifungal activity of peppermint oil was determined in the form of inhibition zone using antifungal assay agar WD testing. In all experiments, the obtained results indicated that peppermint oil has inhibitory effects on Candida albicans (ATCC 90028) and some 15 strains. This study showed that peppermint oil was active against the tested Candida albicans strains. Peppermint oil was more effective against Candida albicans compared to fluconazole. Peppermint oil may have potential for use in the development of clinically useful antifungal preparations. Therefore, peppermint oil might be highly effective in the natural prevention treatment of urinary tract candidiasis.

Trichopyton mentagrophytes is a type of fungus that belongs to a group of dermatophytes, and a disease that causes dermatophytosis (ringworm), this fungus likes parts that contain keratin substances such as skin, hair / hair, nails or horns. This study aims to determine the antifungal activity of 50% and 96% ethanol extract. KHM testing was made with a concentration of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% with the dilution method to determine KHM. Whereas in testing the width of the inhibitory area (LDH) was carried out after getting the MIC value at concentrations of 10%, 25% and 50% with disc diffusion method to determine the effective LDH and qualitative phytochemical testing. The results showed that 96% ethanol solvent at a concentration of 50% could inhibit the fungus Trichopyton mentagrophytes compared to 50% ethanol as seen from the inhibition zone formed in the width of the inhibitory area. Secondary metabolite compounds found in 50% ethanol extract and 96% ethanol are flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, quinones and terpenoids.
