In this study, Chinese researchers investigated the activity of loureirin A against biofilms formed by Candida albicans. Their findings were published in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that loureirin A from dragon’s blood inhibits fungal biofilm formation, thanks to its ability to suppress the pathogenic traits of fungi.
