Research

edit

It might be a useful new compound in treating cutaneous fungal infections.[4] It is a promising agent in prevention and treatment of dental disorders as it had bactericidal and fungicidal effect on Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus mutans, and Candida albicans and inhibited biofilm formation.[5][6][7][8]
