Anu Taila, an herbal nasal-drop, delays spore germination in Cunninghamella bertholletiae by reducing cAMP-PKA dependent ROS in mucorale pathogen and extrinsic ROS in human host cells
Abstract:The rare, fastest-germinating, frequently invasive mucorale, Cunninghamella bertholletiae is intractable due to imprecise etiology. C. bertholletiae spores can infect both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals, to cause mucormycosis. Sub-optimal drug-susceptibility further limits its treatment options. The classical nasal drop, Anu Taila, is reported to be effective against the rather prevalent mucorale, Mucor spp., making its anti-mucormycotic effect against C. bertholletiae worth testing. The inh… Show more
