Abstract

Candida albicans is a polymorphic diploid fungi found in normal human microbiota, at times commensal at times oportunistic. Croton urucurana, or ‘'Sangra d’água’’, has therapeutic applications used in medical treatments throughout common cultures, whilst require further developments of its use with efficiency and safety in human conditions. Thus, the current project aims to analyze the action tool of C. urucurana and its outcomes on C. albicans, as well as its cytotoxic activity in human cells. Thereunto, the hydroalcoholic extract of C. urucurana was obtained with an income of 5,24%. From using the colorimetric method with resazurin in a microtiter plate, which has mitocondrial effects, it was obtained a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 375 mg/mL of the extract, the same found in the presence of ergosterol, a component of the fungal plasmatic membrane. Furthermore, the growth of C. albicans in coexistence with additional sorbitol, an osmotic protector, was tested, raising the minimum inhibitory concentration to 1,500 mg/mL. In order to evaluate the cytotoxicity of C. urucurana, lung fibroblasts were used ensuing in an extract MIC of 375mg/dL. As results, it was found the extract can damage the fungal mitochondrial activity and the cell's wall, although with no deleterious effects on the cell's membrane. Moreover, with the same tested concentrations in fungal cells, it was established its human cells citotoxicity. Thereby, it was figured that C. urucurana has antifungal activity with low selectivity and so is not appliable to testing as a potential antifungal drug.
