Inhibitory effect of Shikonin on Candida albicans growth.

Biol. Pharm. Bull. 35(11) , 1956-63, (2012)

Our study showed that Shikonin (SK) could provide an action against almost all Candida albicans isolates tested. More importantly, to some Fluconazole (FCZ)-resistant Candida albicans, the action of S...

Screening for novel quorum-sensing inhibitors to interfere with the formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm.

J. Med. Microbiol. 60(Pt 12) , 1827-34, (2011)

The objective of this study was to screen for novel quorum-sensing inhibitors (QSIs) from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) that inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. Six of 46 active components fou...

Optimization of shikonin homogenate extraction from Arnebia euchroma using response surface methodology.

Molecules 18(1) , 466-81, (2013)
