In the present study, we have investigated the antifungal effects of a natural polyphenol, CUR (curcumin), against albicans and non-albicans species of Candida and have shown its ability to inhibit the growth of all the tested strains. The inhibitory effects of CUR were independent of the status of the multidrug efflux pump proteins belonging to either ABC transporter (ATP-binding cassette transporter) or MFS (major facilitator) superfamilies of transporters. By using a systemic murine model of… CONTINUE READING
