Plant extracts have been used and studied for thousands of years as antifungal therapeutics alone or in combination with other natural products. This study investigated the synergistic effects of combining ethanolic extracts from nine plants with documented antifungal activity to identify natural and more powerful antifungal treatments against\n                    <jats:italic>Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Using checkerboard microdilution assays, 11 out of 15 combinations exhibited additive or synergistic interactions (fractional inhibitory concentration index, FICI\u2009&lt;\u20091). The strongest synergy was observed between\n                    <jats:italic>Alpinia officinarum<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Hydrastis canadensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    with MIC\n                    <jats:sub>90<\/jats:sub>\n                    FICI\u2009=\u20090.08 and MIC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    FICI\u2009=\u20090.05. Combinations involving\n                    <jats:italic>H. canadensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Eucalyptus globulus,<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Punica granatum<\/jats:italic>\n                    produced the most synergistic effects with other tested extracts and with each other. Combining putative active compounds from each of these three extracts demonstrated synergistic antifungal activity, with the strongest synergy observed with berberine (from\n                    <jats:italic>H. canadensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and punicalagin (from\n                    <jats:italic>P. granatum)<\/jats:italic>\n                    with MIC\n                    <jats:sub>90<\/jats:sub>\n                    FICI\u2009=\u20090.31 and MIC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    FICI\u2009=\u20090.13. Eucalyptol did not produce any significant antifungal activity so\n                    <jats:italic>E. globulus<\/jats:italic>\n                    extract was fractionated to identify its main antifungal compounds. UPLC-MS analysis determined that the most active fractions were primarily made up of hydrolysable tannins which produced strong synergy when combined to berberine with MIC\n                    <jats:sub>90<\/jats:sub>\n                    FICI\u2009=\u20090.31 and MIC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    FICI\u2009=\u20090.25. The combinations of berberine with punicalagin and berberine with the\n                    <jats:italic>E. globulus<\/jats:italic>\n                    high tannin fraction F5 displayed antifungal activity against\n                    <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic>\n                    with MIC\n                    <jats:sub>90<\/jats:sub>\n                    concentrations of 2\u201316 \u00b5g\/mL, which are comparable to MIC\n                    <jats:sub>90<\/jats:sub>\n                    concentration for econazole of 0.5\u20138 \u00b5g\/mL.
