摘要：

Plants of the Mentha genus have been studied for their application as anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial agents, with these effects being attributed to menthol, the majority compound. This review aims to compile research on the antifungal action of menthol and its derivatives. A search was conducted on the following databases: Web of Science, Medline/PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Scopus and Science Direct, using the descriptors 'menthol' and/or 'derivatives'. Twenty-six articles on in vitro studies were selected. Menthol showed activity mainly against Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium spp. with MICs 0.78-1000 mu g/mL and MFC 0.5-1000 mu g/mL. In combination with fluconazole, it presented a synergistic effect against Candida genus. However, there have been few studies on the mechanisms of action. Although the method and its derivatives are promising, further studies are needed to fully explore their effects.
