Lactoferrin, chitosan and Melaleuca alternifolia —natural products that show promise in candidiasis treatment

Abstract: The evolution of microorganisms resistant to many medicines has become a major challenge for the scientific community around the world. Motivated by the gravity of such a situation, the World Health Organization released a report in 2014 with the aim of providing updated information on this critical scenario. Among the most worrying microorganisms, species from the genus Candida have exhibited a high rate of resistance to antifungal drugs. Therefore, the objective of this review is to show that the use of natu… Show more

“…The essential oil from M. alternifolia can be obtained easily from the hydrodistillation of M. alternifolia leaves, and the chemical composition is dependent on the extraction method used and crop region the samples are taken from [ 3 ]. The chemical components of M. alternifolia essential oil used in this study are presented in Table 1 .…”

“…In the last decade, research into essential (volatile) oils has received increasing attention from both industrial and academic sectors because of the growing interest in green consumerism and the need for alternative techniques to assure the quality and safety of perishable foods [ 1 ]. The plant Melaleuca alternifolia (M. alternifolia) belongs to the Myrtaceae family [ 2 ], which is described as a scrubland species and found throughout South America, western India, and Australia [ 3 ]. The plant has been used in medicine, cosmetics, food, agriculture, and other industries [ 4 7 ].…”

“…LAMA1 mutations may be related to Poretti-Boltshauser syndrome, and studies have shown that LAMA1 deficiency can lead to cytoskeletal changes 36 . LTF is a member of the transferrin family, whose protein products initiate host defence against a wide range of microbial infections and antigenic activity 37 . The protein encoded by MGAT5 belongs to the glycosyltransferase family and is one of the most important enzymes involved in the regulation of the biosynthesis of glycoprotein oligosaccharides.…”

“…These can be employed by chromotherapeutic oral-delivery drug systems and can be considered for mucosal delivery [ 30 ]. β-lactoglobulin has been employed as a lactoferrin encapsulant in microcapsules [ 31 ]. Zein, a protein of plant origin, has been used in combination with chitosan to prepare curcumin nanocapsules by the electrospray method with particle sizes ranging from 337–600 nm.…”
