Resumen:
Extracts rich in anthraquinones (AQs), obtained from Heterophyllaea pustulata Hook. f. (Rubiaceae), have shown in vitro antifungal effect against planktonic microorganisms. We have established that their purified AQs exhibit photosensitizing activity Type I and/or II. Since the most important group of opportunistic fungal pathogens are Candida species, in this study we evaluate the antifungal activity of Rubiadin 1-methyl ehter (RubME), one of the majority AQs from these extracts, against different Candida strains, analyzing whether this effect could be increased by irradiation.
