Antifungal agent-166
Antifungal agent-166 is an antifungal agent. The combination of Antifungal agent-166 and Fluconazole exerts synergistic bacteriostatic effects against fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans. Antifungal agent-166 exhibits bacteriostatic activity against both Candida glabrata and Cryptococcus neoformans. Antifungal agent-166 reverses the fluconazole resistance of strains by downregulating ergosterol synthesis-related genes, drug resistance-related genes and virulence-related genes. Antifungal agent-166 can enhance the efficacy of Fluconazole in Galleria mellonella and mouse candidiasis models, reduce fungal load and improve survival rate. Antifungal agent-166 can be used in the research of fungal infections.

Biological Activity
Antifungal agent-166 (Compound A21) (48 h), in combination with Fluconazole (HY-B0101), exhibits strong synergistic antifungal activity against fluconazole-tolerant Candida albicans strains 938 and 939; it reduces the MIC of fluconazole to ≤0.125 μg/mL, with an FICI of 0.127[1].
Antifungal agent-166 (48-72 h) potently inhibits Candida glabrata 537 (MIC = 1.0 μg/mL) and moderately inhibits Cryptococcus neoformans 32609 (MIC = 4.0 μg/mL)[1].
Antifungal agent-166 (0.5 μg/mL; 8 h) enhances the inhibitory effect of Fluconazole on ergosterol biosynthesis in Fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans 939; when used in combination with Fluconazole, it eliminates detectable ergosterol and increases the accumulation of bypass pathway sterols[1].
Antifungal agent-166 (8 μg/mL; 24 h) exhibits moderate cytotoxicity against HUVEC, with an IC50 value of 16.41 μg/mL[1].

-
Cell Line:human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)
-
Concentration:8 μg/mL (alone); 8 μg/mL (combined with 8 μg/mL fluconazole)
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Resulted in 63.99% cell viability with an IC50 of 16.41 μg/mL when used alone.
Resulted in 58.72% cell viability with an IC50 of 14.42 μg/mL when combined with Fluconazole.
Had a selectivity index (IC50/MIC) exceeding 110, based on its effective synergistic antifungal concentration of ≤0.125 μg/mL.
Antifungal agent-166 (0.5 mg/kg; topical administration; single dose), in combination with Fluconazole significantly reduces cutaneous fungal burden in a mouse model of cutaneous candidiasis[1].
Antifungal agent-166 (0.25-0.5 mg/kg, i.p.; once daily; for 3 consecutive days), in combination with Fluconazole dose-dependently reduces renal fungal burden in a mouse model of systemic candidiasis[1].

-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 3 days
-
Result:Did not reduce kidney fungal burden compared to the control.
Reduced the kidney fungal burden from a Log10 CFU/g value of 6.58 to 4.99 when administered at 0.25 mg/kg in combination with fluconazole 0.25 mg/kg.
Reduced the kidney fungal burden from a Log10 CFU/g value of 6.58 to 4.28 when administered at 0.5 mg/kg in combination with fluconazole 0.25 mg/kg.
Showed reduced fungal colonization and hyphal formation in kidney tissue from mice receiving the combination treatment compared to control or monotherapy groups.
