Description |
Polygodial (Poligodial) is an antifungal potentiator[1]. Polygodial is a sesquiterpene with anti-hyperalgesic properties[2].
|
In Vitro |
Polygodial exhibits fungicidal activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, and other fungal pathogens in standardized susceptibility tests (NCCLS). Polygodial (12.5 μg/mL, 3 hours) induces significant shrinkage compared to controls in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells with the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) for 106 CFU/mL in RPMI 1640 medium[3]. Cell Viability Assay[3] Cell Line: S. cerevisiae cells Concentration: 12.5 μg/mL Incubation Time: 3 hours Result: Treated cells exhibited significant shrinkage compared to controls, and the organization of subcellular organelles appears either disrupted or compacted.

In Vivo |
Polygodial is a sesquiterpene isolated from the barks of Drymis winteri (Winteraceae). Polygodial (0.5 to 10 mg/kg; 0.5 h; given by i.p. route to mice) induces significant, dose-related and almost complete inhibition of Acetic acid, Kaolin and Zymosan-induced abdominal constrictions. The calculated mean ID50 values are 0.8, 2.1 and 2.6 mg/kg and maximal inhibitions of 90.0±3.0, 98.0±1.0 and 97.0±2.0 %, against Acetic acid, Kaolin and Zymosan, respectively. Polygodial is about 14- to 27-fold more potent than the hydroalcoholic extract (HE) at the ID50 level[2]. Animal Model: Non-fasted male Swiss mice (20-30 g) or male Wistar rats (150-180 g)[2] Dosage: 0.1 to 10 mg/kg Administration: Injected i.p. 0.5 h before the injection of irritant substances Result: Produced significant inhibition of Acetic acid, Kaolin and Zymosan-induced writhing in mice.
