Synergistic antifungal effect of preventol, α-bromo-cinnamaldehyde, and copper sulfate compounds against wood harmful fungi

Abstract

The objective of the study is to evaluate the antifungal ability against wood harmful fungi (in vitro), of three active compounds: preventol, α-bromo-cinnamaldehyde (α-BCA), copper sulfate, and to evaluate the synergistic effect of a formulation AM-QS containing a mixture of these 3 compounds. As a single substance, preventol (1 mg/l) inhibited 90% of the fungal diameter and reached complete inhibition of the growth of fungal strains at the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 5 mg/l. For α-BCA, the fungal colony diameter decreased by 93.5% at a concentration of 10 mg/l, and the MIC value was determined to be 20 mg/l...
