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.

Fosmanogepix
0 ImagesSynonyms: APX001; E1211Fosmanogepix (APX001) is a broad-spectrum agent against invasive fungal infections. Fosmanogepix (APX001) targets the conserved Gwt1 enzyme required for the localization of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored mannoproteins in fungi. This inhibition prevents the appropriate localization of cell wall mannoproteins, which compromises cell wall integrity, biofilm formation, germ tube formation, and fungal growth. Fosmanogepix (APX001) can be used for invasive fungal infections research.

Paclobutrazol
0 ImagesPaclobutrazol is a triazole-containing plant growth retardant that is known to inhibit the biosynthesis of gibberellins. Paclobutrazol also has antifungal activities. Paclobutrazol, transported acropetally in plants, can also suppress the synthesis of abscisic acid and induce chilling tolerance in plants. Paclobutrazol is typically used to support research on the role of gibberellins in plant biology.

Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro)
0 ImagesCyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro), isolated from Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas alcaligenes cell-free culture supernatants is an antifungal cyclic dipeptide. Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) inhibits IFN-β production by interfering with retinoic-acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) activation. Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) exhibits free-radical scavenging activity with the IC50 of 24 µM in the DPPH assay.

Tropolone
0 ImagesTropolone is a seven-membered non-benzenoid aromatic compound, which is the precursor of many Azulene derivatives. Tropolone is a potent mushroom tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.4 μM. Its inhibitory effect can be achieved by dialysis or excess CU2+ Reversa. Tropolone exhibits broad anti-viral and anti-fungal activity and is synergistic upon co-treatment with nucleos(t)ide analog drugs. Tropolone is a promising candidate for research in osteosarcoma.

Chlorquinaldol
0 ImagesChlorquinaldol (Chloquinan) is an antibacterial agent with the potential use in topical skin conditions and vaginal infections. Chlorquinaldol is a β-catenin/TCF4 inhibitor, showing anti-proliferation, anti-migration, and apoptosis-inducing activity in cancer cells.
-
Tebuconazole
0 ImagesTebuconazole is an orally active agricultural azole fungicide which can also inhibit CYP51 with IC50s of 0.9 and 1.3 μM for Candida albicans CYP51 (CaCYP51) and truncated Homo sapiens CYP51 (Δ60HsCYP51), respectively. Tebuconazole induces lipid accumulation and oxidative stress in HepG2 Cells. Tebuconazole decreases MAC-T cells viability and proliferation, induces ER-stress-mediated apoptosis and increases oxidative stress levels in MAC-T cells.
