Testing conditions for determination of minimum fungicidal concentrations of new and established antifungal agents for Aspergillus spp.: NCCLS collaborative study.
Standard conditions are not available for evaluating the minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) of antifungal agents. This multicenter collaborative study investigated the reproducibility in three laboratories of itraconazole, posaconazole, ravuconazole, voriconazole, and amphotericin B MFCs for 15 selected isolates of Aspergillus spp. After MIC determinations for the 15 isolates in each cent...
متن کاملNeutral red assay for measurement of quantitative vero cell cytotoxicity.
A neutral red assay involving Vero cells was used to quantitate the cytotoxic activity of verotoxins (VT) produced by Escherichia coli and to investigate changes in titer caused by altering the composition of the cell culture medium. Three variations on medium 199 were investigated: one involved supplementing the medium with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), a second was the use of serum-free (SF) m...
متن کاملNew α-Methylene-γ-Butyrolactone Derivatives as Potential Fungicidal Agents: Design, Synthesis and Antifungal Activities.
In consideration of the fact that the α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone moiety is a major bio-functional group in the structure of carabrone and possesses some agricultural biological activity, forty-six new ester and six new ether derivatives containing α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone moieties were synthesized, and their fungicidal activities against Colletotrichum lagenarium and Botrytis cinerea were i...
متن کاملMICs and minimum fungicidal concentrations of posaconazole, voriconazole and fluconazole for Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii.
Sir, The major aetiological species of cryptococcosis is Cryptococcus neoformans, which is distributed especially in association with pigeon droppings, and the most common infection is in the CNS of immunocompromised patients. Cryptococcus gattii, previously considered a biovariety of C. neoformans, is the second agent of cryptococcosis; four basic serotypes have been described: A and D for C. ...
متن کاملAssaying Cellular Viability Using the Neutral Red Uptake Assay.
The neutral red uptake assay is a cell viability assay that allows in vitro quantification of xenobiotic-induced cytotoxicity. The assay relies on the ability of living cells to incorporate and bind neutral red, a weak cationic dye, in lysosomes. As such, cytotoxicity is expressed as a concentration-dependent reduction of the uptake of neutral red after exposure to the xenobiotic under investig...
