ABSTRACT    Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of Buchenavia tomentosa extract and bioactive compounds on six Candida species. MATERIALS _ METHODS: The antimicrobial activity of extract was evaluated using standard strains and clinical isolates. @entity137 was tested in order to evaluate cell damage caused by the extract. Extract was chemically characterized and the antifungal activity of its compounds was evaluated. RESULTS: Extract showed antifungal activity on Candida species. Candida non-albicans were more susceptible than @entity5132 . Low @entity137 for extract was observed. The isolated compounds presented antifungal activity at least against one Candida spp. and all compounds presented antifungal effect on @entity7408 . CONCLUSION: Extracts from Buchenavia tomentosa showed promising antifungal activity on Candida species with low @entity137 . @entity11676 , @entity34785 and @entity13983 showed promising inhibitory activity on @entity7408 .
