Chemical composition and biological activity of Tanacetum audibertii (Req.) DC. (Asteraceae), an endemic species of Sardinia Island, Italy

The HD oil was evaluated against yeasts and dermatophyte strains, being more active against Cryptococcus neoformans, with MIC and MLC values of 0.64 μL/mL. Moreover, the oil revealed an important inhibitory effect on germ tube formation in C. albicans at sub-inhibitory concentrations. At the concentration of 1/16 MIC the inhibition of filamentation was more than 70% in comparison to untreated control cells.
