In vitro antifungal activities of the new triazole UR-9825 against clinically important filamentous fungi.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We used a modified reference microdilution method (the M-38P method) to evaluate the in vitro activities of the new triazole UR-9825 in comparison with those of amphotericin B against 77 strains of opportunistic filamentous fungi. UR-9825 was clearly more active than amphotericin B against all fungi except Fusarium solani and Scytalidium spp. Notably, UR-9825 had low MICs for Aspergillus fumigatus and Paecilomyces lilacinus (MICs at which 90% of isolates are inhibited, 0.125 microg/ml for both species).

In-vitro comparative activity of UR-9825, itraconazole and fluconazole against clinical isolates of Candida spp.
UR-9825 is a new broad-spectrum triazole antifungal agent with a good pharmacokinetic profile and excellent bioavailability. It shows high in-vitro activity and efficacy in models of systemic candidosis in rats and rabbits, comparing favourably with fluconazole. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in-vitro activity of UR-9825 and to compare it with that of fluconazole and itraconazole...

The in vitro activity of the new triazole albaconazole (UR-9825) in comparison with those of flucytosine, fluconazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole against 70 strains of Malassezia spp. was determined by a microdilution method using a colorimetric indicator for metabolic activity. Albaconazole showed an in vitro profile similar to those of the different antifungals tested (MIC <...

In order to develop new approaches to the treatment of the severe and usually fatal infections caused by Scedosporium spp., the in vitro antifungal activities of four novel triazoles (posaconazole, ravuconazole, voriconazole, and UR-9825) and some current antifungals (amphotericin B, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and nystatin) were determined. The latter group was clearly ineffective against the ...
