Research to find new antifungal drugs is still ongoing. Ricinoleic acid in particular is a fatty acid that has drawn the attention of researchers in this area. In this research, the synthesis of glycine-oxidized ricinoleic acid amide ester and phenylalanine-oxidized ricinoleic acid ester amide was carried out through three reaction steps, which included Fischer esterification reaction, oxidation reaction of the double bond, and amidation reaction. The products of each stage were characterized by TLC and FT-IR. The results of the characterization of lipoamide compounds by TLC showed a decrease in the spot’s travel length, which indicated the presence of lipoamide compounds in the amidation product. The results of the characterization of the amidation product with FT-IR showed that the amide compound was formed due to the presence of a unique functional group on the amide compound, namely the C=O amide group, at wave numbers 1731 cm-1 for lipoamide-glycine and 1733 cm-1 for lipoamide-phenylalanine. The antifungal activity test results of amidation products showed that lipoamide-glycine and lipoamide-phenylalanine do not have antifungal activity against Candida albicans."

Introduction: Candida krusei’s fluconazole resistance is a growing concern in superficial candidiasis and candidemia treatment. Lombok propolis, rich in flavonoids, is a potential alternative. This research explores the antifungal activity of Lombok propolis against Candida krusei growth. Method: In vitro experiments used Agar well diffusion (for inhibition zone diameter measurement), and Broth microdilution (for optical density changes) followed by fungal culture (for MIC determination). Groups in Agar well diffusion included Lombok propolis ethanol extracts at concentrations of 500.000 ppm, 700.000 ppm, and 1.000.000 ppm, fluconazole (positive control), and 10% DMSO (negative control), with the addition of growth control and medium control in Broth microdilution. Result: This study found significant between-group differences in Agar well diffusion (p = 0,025) and Broth microdilution (p = 0,001), with the largest average inhibition zone at 700.000 ppm (9,67 mm) and the greatest average optical density decrease at 500.000 ppm (0.2308). Post hoc tests for Agar well diffusion revealed no significant difference and for Broth microdilution the optical density difference was significantly lower for 500.000 ppm compared to negative control and medium control, as well as for 700.000 ppm compared to positive control, growth control, and medium control. Fungal culture showed Candida krusei growth at all propolis concentrations. Conclusion: Lombok propolis collected from Trigona clypearis has the potential to inhibit the growth of Candida krusei. However, to be established as an alternative treatment, its effect has to be optimized. MIC value determination was inconclusive."
