In vitro interactions of licensed and novel antifungal drugs against Fusarium spp.

چکیده
We have studied the in vitro interactions of amphotericin B (AMB) with terbinafine (TBF), itraconazole, voriconazole (VCZ), albaconazole, and ravuconazole (RVZ), as well as TBF combined with the same azoles, against 11 isolates of Fusarium spp. using the fractional inhibitory concentration index. The highest percentage of synergistic interactions was observed for the combinations AMB-RVZ, TBF-VCZ, and TBF-RCZ.

Echinocandin antifungal drugs.
The echinocandins are large lipopeptide molecules that are inhibitors of beta-(1,3)-glucan synthesis, an action that damages fungal cell walls. In vitro and in vivo, the echinocandins are rapidly fungicidal against most Candida spp and fungistatic against Aspergillus spp. They are not active at clinically relevant concentrations against Zygomycetes, Cryptococcus neoformans, or Fusarium spp. No ...
متن کاملINK128 Exhibits Synergy with Azoles against Exophiala spp. and Fusarium spp.
Infections of Exophiala spp. and Fusarium spp. are often chronic and recalcitrant. Systemic disseminations, which mostly occur in immunocompromised patients, are often refractory to available antifungal therapies. The conserved target of rapamycin (TOR) orchestrates cell growth and proliferation in response to nutrients and growth factors, which are important for pathogenicity and virulence. IN...
متن کاملAntifungal activity of compounds targeting the Hsp90-calcineurin pathway against various mould species.
OBJECTIVES Invasive mould infections are associated with a high mortality rate and the emergence of MDR moulds is of particular concern. Calcineurin and its chaperone, the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), represent an important pathway for fungal virulence that can be targeted at different levels. We investigated the antifungal activity of compounds directly or indirectly targeting the Hsp90-calc...
متن کاملSynergysm of voriconazole or itraconazole with other antifungal agents against species of Fusarium.
BACKGROUND Infections caused by Fusarium are difficult to treat because these fungi show in vitro and in vivo resistance to practically all the antifungal agents available, which explains the high mortality rates. An attempt to overcome fungal resistance is the combination of antifungal agents, especially those with different mechanisms of action. AIMS Evaluate the in vitro interactions of co...
متن کاملAntifungal Activity of Nanoemulsion of Iranian Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) Essential Oil
Background: Despite the considerable activity of herbal Essential Oils (EOs) as safe food preservatives, problems such as high volatility, low water solubility, and low stability in adverse environmental conditions restrict their use in food products. This work aimed to investigate in vitro antifungal activity of oil-in-water nanoemulsion of Iranian Artemisia dracunculus L. (tarragon) EO. Meth...
