Anti-Therapeutic Action: Cytotoxicity to mammalian cells

Green Synthesized Copper-Oxide Nanoparticles Exhibit Antifungal Activity Against Botrytis cinerea, the Causal Agent of the Gray Mold Disease

Scientists have developed tiny copper particles using environmentally friendly methods with beneficial fungi to fight gray mold, a devastating disease in vineyards and crops. These green-synthesized nanoparticles were more effective at stopping the fungus than commercial fungicides currently in use. The research shows this approach could be a sustainable alternative that reduces harmful chemicals used in agriculture while protecting crops more effectively.

Staurosporine as an Antifungal Agent

Staurosporine is a natural compound from soil bacteria that can kill fungal infections. While originally known for its anti-cancer properties, scientists have recently rediscovered its strong antifungal activity, especially against dangerous drug-resistant fungi. The challenge is that it also damages human cells, but researchers are developing improved versions and combination treatments to make it safer and more effective.
