Studies on the mechanism of the antifungal action of benzoate.
A method is described for the determination of the pH of intracellular water based on the distribution of [14C]benzoate (0.01 mM) between intra- and extra-cellular water. Benzoate at higher concentrations (2-10mM) enters the yeast cell in the undissociated form, and its neutralization within the cell can cause a shift of the pH of the intracellular water by more than 1 pH unit. Benzoate causes ...
متن کاملStudies on the mechanism of antifungal action of aculeacin A.
Aculeacin A was lethal for proliferating cultures of C. albicans. However, there was a paradoxical relationship between the drug concentration and the fungicidal activity; the lethal effect was greatest at levels of 0.08 to 1.25 microgram/ml and increases in the drug concentration above this range reduced its lethal effect. A similar anomalous dose-response patterns were also observed for the i...
متن کاملAntifungal activity of eugenol analogues. Influence of different substituents and studies on mechanism of action.
Twenty one phenylpropanoids (including eugenol and safrole) and synthetic analogues, thirteen of them new compounds, were evaluated for antifungal properties, first with non-targeted assays against a panel of human opportunistic pathogenic fungi. Some structure-activity relationships could be observed, mainly related to the influence of an allyl substituent at C-4, an OH group at C-1 and an OCH...
متن کاملAntifungal Activity and Action Mechanism of Histatin 5-Halocidin Hybrid Peptides against Candida ssp
The candidacidal activity of histatin 5 is initiated through cell wall binding, followed by translocation and intracellular targeting, while the halocidin peptide exerts its activity by attacking the Candida cell membrane. To improve antimicrobial activities and to understand the killing mechanism of two peptides, six hybrid peptides were designed by conjugating histatin 5 and halocidin. A comp...
متن کاملMechanism of antifungal action of kanosamine.
The antibiotic kanosamine inhibited growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a range of human pathogenic fungi, including Candida albicans. Kanosamine was transported into C. albicans cells by the glucose transport system and subsequently phosphorylated. The product of its intracellular metabolism, kanosamine-6-phosphate, was an inhibitor of the enzyme glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase. Inhibition...
