Introducción. Las infecciones causadas por hongos patógenos representan un desafío persistente para la salud pública. Los invertebrados marinos, como los pepinos de mar (holoturias), son reconocidos por su alto contenido proteico y diversas propiedades medicinales. Además, actúan como reservorios de compuestos bioactivos. En las aguas territoriales de México, se encuentran seis especies de pepinos de mar, entre ellas Astichopus multifidus, Isostichopus badionotus y Holothuria floridana, distribuidas a lo largo de la península de Yucatán. Sin embargo, la sobreexplotación amenaza a estas especies, lo que podría reducir fuentes valiosas de agentes antimicrobianos. Objetivos. Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la actividad antifúngica de extractos orgánicos de A. multifidus y H. floridana frente a diversas cepas fúngicas, mediante ensayos de concentración mínima inhibitoria (CMI) y concentración mínima fungicida (CMF). Materiales y métodos. Se obtuvieron extractos orgánicos de A. multifidus y H. floridana, los cuales fueron evaluados mediante el método de microdilución para determinar su actividad antifúngica. Se establecieron los valores de CMI y CMF frente a un panel de cepas fúngicas, incluyendo Trichophyton rubrum, Aspergillus niger y Cryptococcus neoformans. También se evaluaron extractos de Isostichopus badionotus. Resultados y discusión. Aproximadamente el 50 % de los extractos mostró actividad antifúngica. Los extractos butanólicos del cuerpo de A. multifidus y H. floridana presentaron los valores más bajos de CMI (15,6 µg/mL) frente a T. rubrum y A. niger, respectivamente. Además, estos extractos mostraron actividad antifúngica (31,2 µg/mL) contra C. neoformans. En contraste, los extractos de I. badionotus no presentaron actividad. Estos resultados sugieren que A. multifidus y H. floridana contienen compuestos bioactivos con potencial antifúngico. Conclusiones. Las propiedades antifúngicas de A. multifidus y H. floridana destacan su potencial como fuentes de nuevos agentes antifúngicos. Su uso sostenible podría contribuir al desarrollo de nuevos tratamientos antimicóticos
