Niosome-loaded antifungal drugs as an effective nanocarrier system: A mini review
Skin is an important organ of the body due to offering an accessible and convenient site for drug administration. One of the disadvantages of transdermal drug delivery is the low penetration rate of drugs through the skin. Over the past decades, nanoparticles have been used as drug delivery systems to increase therapeutic effects or reduce toxicity. Encapsulation of drugs in nanoparticulate ves...
متن کاملAntifungal properties of polymyxin B and its potentiation of tetracycline as an antifungal agent.
High concentrations of polymyxin B inhibited the growth of Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When these yeasts were incubated with concentrations of polymyxin B too low to affect growth, and were then exposed to tetracycline, protein synthesis was inhibited and at least 99% of the organisms were killed. Neither inhibition of protein synthesis nor cell death occurred in cultures tre...
متن کاملOmics for Investigating Chitosan as an Antifungal and Gene Modulator
Chitosan is a biopolymer with a wide range of applications. The use of chitosan in clinical medicine to control infections by fungal pathogens such as Candida spp. is one of its most promising applications in view of the reduced number of antifungals available. Chitosan increases intracellular oxidative stress, then permeabilizes the plasma membrane of sensitive filamentous fungus Neurospora cr...
متن کاملSelective BET bromodomain inhibition as an antifungal therapeutic strategy
Invasive fungal infections cause significant morbidity and mortality among immunocompromised individuals, posing an urgent need for new antifungal therapeutic strategies. Here we investigate a chromatin-interacting module, the bromodomain (BD) from the BET family of proteins, as a potential antifungal target in Candida albicans, a major human fungal pathogen. We show that the BET protein Bdf1 i...
متن کاملElemental sulphur as an induced antifungal substance in plant defence.
Man's oldest fungicide has probably long functioned in this role in plants, as a natural component of induced antifungal defence. Elemental sulphur (S(0)) is the only inorganic phytoalexin and the only phytoalexin produced by so many different taxa. S(0) (detected by GC-MS as (32)S(8)) is produced in representative species of Sterculiaceae (cocoa), Solanaceae (tomato, tobacco), Malvaceae (cotto...
