a Effect of macrocarpal C on ROS release from Trichophyton mentagrophytes after treatment at 1 × MIC for different durations. The MIC values of macrocarpal C, terbinafine hydrochloride and nystatin were determined to be 1.95, 0.625 and 1.25 µg/mL, respectively. Data are presented as the mean values ± SD (n = 3) (Three independent experiments), with *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001 when compared with the control (0 %) using Student’s t-test. ^### P < 0.001 for multiple comparison among groups using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post hoc Tukey test. b Pictures taken under a fluorescence microscope (Nikon Ti-E)
