With the introduction of antibiotics in the mid-1940s, there was a rapid increase in diseases that were linked to antibiotic use. Doctors and researchers began searching for effective treatments to address these conditions. “Wyss et al demonstrated more than 50 years ago that the greater the number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain, the greater the fungicidal activity, up to the point exceeding eleven carbon atoms, where solubility becomes the limiting factor.
