Leaves In Silico and In Vitro}, journal={Fabad Eczacılık Bilimler Dergisi}, volume={50}, pages={329–342}, year={2025}, DOI={10.55262/fabadeczacilik.1586787}, author={Tukiran, Tukiran and Farkhiyah, Lilik and Dewistamara, Marshellia Ghinanda}, keywords={Antifungal, wild tantan, Candida albicans, in silico, in vitro}, abstract={Most fungal human infections are caused by Candida species, especially Candida albicans. C. albicans is a highly adaptable microorganism that can cause resistance after prolonged exposure to antifungals. C. albicans fungus is easily transmitted so that the discovery of new antifungal agents is very urgent. Therefore, this study aims to find antifungal agents from natural materials, namely wild tantan leaves in silico and in vitro. In the in silico test, 10 dominant compounds from LC-MS results using 2QZX protein obtained 3 compounds that have the most potential as antifungals with binding affinity values lower than ketoconazole. On the other hand, in the in vitro test with the agar diffusion method using disc paper, the average inhibition zone value was 0,01283 m and was classified as strong.}, number={2}, publisher={FABAD Ankara Eczacılık Bilimleri Derneği}, organization={the Institute for Research and Community Service, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, INDONESIA}
