Fungal
An antifungal agent is a drug that selectively eliminates fungal pathogens from a host with minimal toxicity to the host.
Classes: 1. Polyene Antifungal Drugs: Amphotericin, nystatin, and pimaricin interact with sterols in the cell membrane (ergosterol in fungi, cholesterol in humans) to form channels through which small molecules leak from the inside of the fungal cell to the outside. 2. Azole Antifungal Drugs: Fluconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole inhibit cytochrome P450-dependent enzymes (particularly C14-demethylase) involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, which is required for fungal cell membrane structure and function. 3. Allylamine and Morpholine Antifungal Drugs: lylamines (naftifine, terbinafine) inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis at the level of squalene epoxidase. The morpholine drug, amorolfine, inhibits the same pathway at a later step. 4. Antimetabolite Antifungal Drugs: 5-Fluorocytosine acts as an inhibitor of both DNA and RNA synthesis via the intracytoplasmic conversion of 5-fluorocytosine to 5-fluorouracil.

Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde
0 ImagesSynonyms: 2,3-Naphthalenedicarboxaldehyde; Naphthalene-2,3-dialdehydeNaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA) is an effective inhibitor of Candida albicans aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASADH), with a Ki value of 45 μM. Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde targets ASADH in the aspartate biosynthetic pathway of Candida albicans. Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde reacts with primary amines to generate highly fluorescent and stable derivatives. Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde serves as a fungistatic agent and a fluorogenic derivatization reagent. Naphthalene-2,3-Dicarboxaldehyde can be used for the research of candidiasis.

2-Phenylethyl isothiocyanate
0 Images2-Phenylethyl isothiocyanate is a potent antifungal agent. 2-Phenylethyl isothiocyanate significantly inhibited spore germination and mycelial growth of Alternaria alternata, with a MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of 1.22 mM. The antifungal effect of 2-Phenylethyl isothiocyanate against Alternaria alternate might be via reduction in toxin content and breakdown of cell membrane integrity.

Econazole
0 ImagesSynonyms: (±)-EconazolEconazole ((±)-Econazol) is an orally active imidazole antifungal agent, as well as a cytochrome P-450 inhibitor and a blocker of calcium and manganese ion uptake. Econazole is active against a variety of fungi and some Gram-positive bacteria, but has no significant activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Econazole can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins and can also induce liver damage.
-
Isoxanthohumol
0 ImagesIsoxanthohumol is an orally active flavonoid compound. Isoxanthohumol has biological activities such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, antifungal, and inhibition of adipogenesis. Isoxanthohumol can induce apoptosis, autophagy, and migration of tumor cells. Isoxanthohumol is active against viruses such as HSV, BVDV, CMV, and Rhino. Isoxanthohumol can be used for the research of tumors, metabolic, and inflammatory diseases.

Citrinin
0 ImagesCitrinin (NSC 186) is a mycotoxin that causes food contamination and has different toxic effects. Citrinin is an effective oral anticancer agent. Citrinin has various regulatory effects on mouse immune system, including regulating the number of immune cells, inducing apoptosis and autophagy of immune cells, altering toll-like receptor expression and cytokine production. Citrinin can induce oxidative stress and lead to early apoptosis of oocytes. Low doses of Citrinin have neuroprotective effects against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in rat cortical neurons. In addition, Citrinin also has antibacterial activity.
