Abstract

Background

Boric acid, a weak monobasic Lewis acid of boron, exists as a white solid that crystallizes from aqueous solutions in triclinic waxy plates. The major role of boric acid in the treatment of Candida vaginitis is through its antifungal properties, which help inhibit the growth of the Candida yeast responsible for the infection.

Objective

Treatment for Candida vaginitis involves antifungal medications, which are commonly administered orally or topically to eliminate the Candida yeast causing the infection.

Methods and Results

In this study, we employed the Djokovic-Winkler relation to enumerate the distance of each pair of compounds in the molecular graph. Analytical and computational techniques were employed to characterize the physical and chemical properties of boric acid, which help in the treatment of Candida vaginitis.

Conclusion

Moreover, this study introduces the Sadhana index and PI index, derived from specific polynomials (omega, theta, sadhana, and PI), to identify the antifungal properties most conducive to antifungal medications.
