Abstract

The combination effect of anethole with amphotericin B, fluconazole, miconazole, or 5-fluorocytosine was investigated against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When combined with $\frac{1}{2}$ minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) or $\frac{1}{2}$ minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of anethole, the antifungal activities of fluconazole and 5-fluorocytosine were not changed, but the fungistatic and the fungicidal activities of miconazole were increased 64-fold, respectively. In the case of amphotericin B, the fungistatic activity was increased 2-fold, while the fungicidal activity was decreased 2-fold. The combination effect of anethole with miconazole or amphotericin B was also investigated at the various concentrations using the macrobroth dilution checkerboard method. The fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) and the fractional fungicidal concentration (FFC) index between B exhibited the FIC index of 8.25 and the FFC of 32.06, respectively. Thus, it is analyzed that the combination of anethole with miconazole or amphotericin B on the antifungal action shows synergism and antagonism, respectively.
