چکیده
L-743,872 (M991), which is a pneumocandin derivative, was evaluated in a mouse model of disseminated candidiasis caused by a fluconazole-resistant isolate of Candida albicans. In immunocompetent mice M991 prolonged survival at doses as low as 0.0125 mg/kg of body weight per day. In neutropenic mice 0.05 mg/kg was the lowest effective dose. M991 is a very potent drug for treatment of disseminated candidiasis.

Evaluation of the echinocandin antifungal MK-0991 (L-743,872): efficacies in mouse models of disseminated aspergillosis, candidiasis, and cryptococcosis.
The in vivo activity of the Merck antifungal echinocandin drug candidate MK-0991 (L-743,872) was evaluated in mouse models of disseminated candidiasis, aspergillosis, and cryptococcosis. The echinocandins are potent inhibitors of 1,3-beta-D-glucan synthase. Two models of disseminated candidiasis were used. In a Candida albicans mouse survival model with both DBA/2N and CD-1 mice, estimates of t...

متن کاملIn vitro lymphoproliferative response and cytokine production in mice with experimental disseminated candidiasis
Objective(s): Systemic candidiasis is an infection of Candida albicans (C. albicans) causing disseminated disease and sepsis, invariably when host defenses are compromised. We investigated the histopathological changes as well as the lymphoproliferative responses and cytokine production of splenic cells after stimulation with Concanavalin A (Con A) and Pokeweed mitogen (PWM) in mice with dissem...
