Plant-Based Bioactive Compounds and Their Role in Sustainable Antifungal and Antimicrobial Drug Discovery

1. Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the most serious global public health threats of the twenty-first century. The extensive and uncontrolled use of antibiotics and antifungal drugs has accelerated the evolution of resistant microbial strains, reducing the effectiveness of existing therapeutic agents. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), multidrug-resistant pathogens …

Medicinal Plant-Based Nanotechnology for Antimicrobial, Antifungal, and Biomedical Applications: Current Progress and Future Perspectives

1. Introduction Nanotechnology has revolutionized modern scientific research through the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale level, generally ranging between 1 and 100 nm. Nanomaterials possess unique physicochemical, optical, catalytic, electrical, and biological properties that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts due to their extremely small particle size and high surface-area-to-volume ratio. These distinctive characteristics …
