This study was carried out to assess the antidermatophytic potential of the ethyl acetate(EtOAc) extract of the marine isolate of Aspergillus sp.. The fungus was isolated by serial dilution, and was identified Aspergillus sp.. The EtOAc extract of the fungus was examined to evaluate the antidermatophytic efficacy against the fungal pathogens infecting human skin using the disc diffusion and MIC(minimum inhibitory concentration) determination methods. The EtOAc extract($5{\mu}l\;disc^{-1}$) was considered to have the antidermatophytic activity based on the inhibition percentage of the mycelial growth of the fungi tested such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes KCTC 6085, Microsporum canis KCTC 6591, Microsporum canis KCTC 6348, Trichophyton rubrum KCTC 6352, Microsporum canis KCTC 6349 and Trichophyton mentagrophytes KCTC 6316. The percentage of the inhibition ranged from 54% to 81, and the MIC obtained was 62.5, 62.5, 250, 125, 125, and $125{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$, respectively. The extract had a strong detrimental effect on the spore germination of the tested skin infectious pathogens. These findings strongly support the role of the ethyl acetate extract as a potential antidermatophytic agent.

Antifungal activities of clove essential oil and its volatile vapour against dermatophytic fungi including Candida albicans, Epidermophyton floccosum. Microsporum audouinii, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Trichophyton rubrum were investigated. Both clove essential oil and its volatile vapour strongly inhibit spore germination and mycelial growth of the dermatophytic fungi tested. The volatile vapour of clove essential oil showed fungistatic activity whereas direct application of clove essential oil showed fungicidal activity.

본 연구는 피부사상균에 항진균 활성을 보이는 편백정유에 대하여 이를 구성하고 있는 mono- 및 sesquiterpene 성분들 중 어떠한 성분들에 의해 항진균 활성이 나타나는지 탐색하고 성분들 간의 synergy 효과가 존재하는지 알아보고자 피부사상균인 Trichophyton mentagrophytes (KCTC6077), Microsporum canis (KCTC6591), Microsporum gypseum에 대하여 디스크확산법, 한천희석법을 이용하여 항진균 활성을 평가, 비교하였다. Column chromatography를 이용하여 편백정유를 7개(A, B, C, D, E, F, G)로 분획하고, 각각의 분획들에 대하여 한천희석법을 이용하여 T. mentagrophytes에 대한 항진균 활성을 실험한 결과, 분획 D, E, F, G의 항진균 활성이 높았다. GC/MS 분석을 실시하여 높은 항진균 활성을 나타내는 분획의 주성분을 확인하고 그 중 monoterpene인 borneol, linalool, ${\alpha}$-terpineol과, sesquiterpene인 ${\alpha}$-cedrol, nerolidol, ${\beta}$-eudesmol을 선택하였다. 단일 terpene의 항진균 활성 비교 시 monoterpene보다 sesquiterpene이 더 높은 활성을 보였다. 높은 활성을 보이는 sesquiterpene의 단일 및 혼합 성분들과 편백정유의 분획 중 항진균 활성이 높고 sesquiterpene의 함유량이 높은 분획 F의 비교 시, sesquiterpene의 조합 성분들이 높은 항진균 활성을 나타냈다. 이는 sesquiterpene 성분들의 혼합에 의하여 항진균 활성의 synergy 효과가 발현됨을 의미하였다.

The fungistatic effects of extract and crystal (A) of Berberis Koreans Palibin, a common shrub in Korea, were obeserved and compared with undecylenic acid and vegetable oil. In vitro studies, the spores of fungi were inoculated on Sabouraud's glucose agar media which contained compounds of various concentration, and the growth of the fungi was observed for 3 weeks. The species of the fungi used in these experiments were Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum gypseum, Microsporum audouini, Microsporum canis, Microsporum nanum, Microsporum cookei, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton tonsurans and Trichophyton verrucosum. The results of the studies were as follows: 1. The growth of E. floccosum, M. audouni, M. canis, M. nanum, M. cookei, was inhibited in Sabouraud's glucose agar media containing extract and crystal (A) of Berberis Koreana Palibin 1 mg/ml.

본 연구에서는 표재성 진균에 의한 피부질환 개선용 소재로의 개발을 위해 삼나무 정유의 표재성 알레르기성 진균, Trichophyton schoenleinii, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes (interdigitale), Trichophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum, Aspergillus fumigatus에 대한 항진균 활성을 평가하여 삼나무 정유의 표재성 진균에 의한 피부질환 개선 소재로의 개발 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 항진균 활성 평가는 삼나무 정유의 MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) 측정과 TLC bioassay, 한천희석법을 통해 측정하였다. 또한 활성 성분의 주성분을 확인하기 위해 GC/MS 분석을 실시하였다. 삼나무 정유 crude oil의 MIC는 모든 균에서 500 ppm 이하의 농도 값을 나타냈으며, TLC bioassay를 통해 spot 1에서 항진균 효과를 확인하였다. 한천희석법을 통한 항진균 활성은 A. fumigatus를 제외한 모든 진균에 대해 삼나무 정유 crude oil의 경우, 500 ppm 이상에서 100%의 활성을 나타냈고, 분획 D의 경우, 100 ppm에서도 100%의 활성을 나타냈다. TLC bioassay를 통해 항진균 활성을 나타낸 spot 1과 한천희석법을 통해 활성을 나타낸 분획 D를 GC/MS로 분석한 결과 주성분은 elemol, ${\gamma}$-eudesmol, ${\beta}$-eudesmol이었다. 따라서 elemol, eudesmol 등은 표재성 진균에 의한 피부질환의 개선 소재로의 이용 가능성이 충분하다고 사료된다.

Common dermatophytosis in upper Egypt were studied at three hospitals in Minia city. Tinea corporis (ringworm of glabrous skin) was diagnosed in 127 patients (84 males and 53 females). Trichophyton was the most common genus and was represented by 6 species among which T. violaceum was the commonest fungus. Microsporum was represented by 4 species and M. canis was the prevalent species. Tinea pedis (ringworm of the foot) was noticed in 22 cases (13 males and 9 females) and also Trichophyton and Microsporum were the causal organisms. Three species of Trichophyton namely: T. violaceum, T. kuryngei and Trichophyton sp. were isolated. Tinea cruis (ringworm of the groin) was diagnosed in 21 patients (16 males and 5 females). Epidermophyton floccosum was the most prevalent fungus associated with tinea cruris whereas Trichophyton and Candida were less frequent. Tinea unguium (ringworm of the nail) was diagnosed in 9 patients, 8 were females and one was male and the age incidence ranged between 5 and 55 years. M. canis occurred in 2 cases and T. mentagrophytes in one case. Out of 86 cases of tinea versicolor, 71 were males and 15 were females. Malassezia furfur was the main causal agent. All patients of candidiasis and paronychia were females and Candida was the most prevalent causal agent.

Spherical silver nanoparticles (nano-Ag) were synthesized and their antifungal effects on fungal pathogens of the skin were investigated. Nano-Ag showed potent activity against clinical isolates and ATCC strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida species ($IC_{80}$, 1-7${\mu}g/ml$). The activity of nano-Ag was comparable to that of amphotericin B, but superior to that of fluconazole (amphotericin B $IC_{80}$, 1-5${\mu}g/ml$; fluconazole $IC_{80}$, 10-30${\mu}g/ml$). Additionally, we investigated their effects on the dimorphism of Candida albicans. The results showed nano-Ag exerted activity on the mycelia. Thus, the present study indicates nano-Ag may have considerable antifungal activity, deserving further investigation for clinical applications.
