SANTALUM ALBUM: CLINICAL ASPECTS FOR TREATMENT OF CANDIDA INFECTIONS
AbstractBackground: In present study, we aim to assess the anticandidal activity of crude extracts and screening of bioactive compounds and their identification by NMR, IR and GC-MS. Results: A total of 192 isolates were isolated from patients having oral and vaginal candidiasis and a total of 134 isolates showed positive results with Gram staining. The selected isolates APKU-2, APKU-3 and APKU-4 were identified as C.albicans, C.lusitaniae and C.krusei by studying its morphological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics. Chemical characterization of the extracted compounds was done by H1NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis to determine the structure, melting point, and molecular mass of the purified compounds. Conclusions: The crude extracts and purified compounds from the sandalwood holds potential as medications for various antifungal therapeutics. However, further research on their potential incorporation into different preparations, safety and cost- effectiveness remains to be done
