Abstract. Candida glabrata is the most common fungal species isolated in patients with severe mucosal inflammation. The high resistance to traditional antifungal therapies makes this species a growing concern in clinical settings. Cratoxylum formosum is a plant widely distributed in mountainous area of Asian countries. This study aims to examine antifungal activity of C.formosum gum against C.glabrata and its α-mangostin content. Inhibition of fungal growth was primarily tested by agar diffusion. Broth dilution method was then used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The D-mangostin content was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Inhibitory effect of the gum was seen against C.glabrata (clinical isolate and ATCC22019) with zones of inhibition ranging from 14.3 to 10.2 mm. MIC value against C. glabrata ATCC22019 and the clinical isolate was 1.25 mg/mL. By HPLC, the D-mangostin content of C.formosum gum was determined as 4.08% (w/w). In conclusion, the anticandidal activity of C.formosum gum suggests that this plant may be a useful source for the development of a novel antifungal agent against candidal infection. Further in vitro/in vivo studies should be conducted to understand the mechanisms of action and to establish the safe profile of this gum for clinical usage..

“…Nielsen (Fabaceae) is a type of deciduous tree that grows in Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar through South China, Indochina, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines (Panyaphu et al, 2011). A. clypearia with traditional routes of administration including oral and topical use is known as the medicinal plant which is detoxicating, cooling, edema reducing, and an antidiarrheal in Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia (Anderson, 1986;Cheng, 1994). It has been also used for curing upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngolaryngitis, tonsillitis, and gastroenteritis (Anderson, 1986;Cheng, 1994).…”

The effect of aqueous extract of Cratoxylum formosum on innate immune response and disease resistance in tilapia Oreochromis niloticus was investigated. The fish were fed diets containing 0% (control), 0.5% (diet 1), 1% (diet 2), and 1.5% (diet 3) of C. formosum aqueous extract for 30 days. At the end of the experimental period, parameters of innate immune response including phagocytosis of blood leukocytes, lysozyme activity in plasma, and respiratory bust activity were examined. Feeding the fish with diet 2 and diet 3 for 20 days enhanced phagocytic activity and for 30 days stimulated lysozyme and respiratory burst activities. Diet 1 increased the phagocytic activity at 30 days, but did not affect the other measured parameters. All parameters were not significantly changed (P [ 0.05) in the control group throughout the experiment. Following 30 days of feeding, fish were infected with S. agalactiae. The cumulative mortalities of bacterial-infected tilapia that were fed diet 1, diet 2, and diet 3 were 56, 12, and 10%, respectively, compared with 85% in the control group. These results indicate that the aqueous extract of C. formosum may elevate the innate immune response and enhance disease resistance in tilapia.
