Antifungal Agents: Mode of Action, Mechanisms of Resistance, …
网页Antifungals can be grouped into three classes based on their site of action: azoles, which inhibit the synthesis of ergosterol (the main fungal sterol); polyenes, which interact with fungal membrane sterols physicochemically; and 5-fluorocytosine, which inhibits macromolecular synthesis.

网页2020年3月12日 · We reviewed the licensed antifungal drugs and summarized their mechanisms of action, pharmacological profiles, and susceptibility to specific fungi. Approved antimycotics inhibit 1,3-β- d -glucan synthase, lanosterol 14-α-demethylase, protein, and deoxyribonucleic acid biosynthesis, or sequestrate ergosterol.

网页2016年11月1日 · This chapter provides a systematic summary of antifungal agents, grouped by class and mechanism of action. Each summary provides information on the mode of action, mechanisms of resistance, pharmacology, and clinical use.
Classes of Antifungal Drugs and Their Overall Mechanism
网页Antifungal drugs prevent topical or invasive fungal infections (mycoses) either by stopping growth of fungi (termed fungistatic) or by killing the fungal cells (termed fungicidal). Antibiotics...
Antifungal agents: mechanisms of action - ScienceDirect
网页2003年6月1日 · Generalised cartoon showing target areas for antifungal agents. The cross-section through a fungal hypha shows the intracellular sites of action of antifungal agents. The callouts show details for each site. The cell envelope structure illustrated is based on data for Candida albicans.
Antifungals: mechanism of action and resistance, established and …
网页1998年10月1日 · The use of antifungal drugs, primarily azoles and polyenes, has increased in parallel. Yet, established agents do not satisfy the medical need completely; azoles are fungistatic and vulnerable to resistance, whereas polyenes cause serious host toxicity.
Antifungals: From Pharmacokinetics to Clinical Practice - MDPI
网页2023年5月9日 · In this review, we performed an overview of the history of antifungals and their classification, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) characteristics and clinical applications. In parallel, we also addressed the contribution of fungi biology and genetics to the development of resistance to antifungal drugs.
Antifungal Drugs: Mechanism of Action and Resistance
网页2021年8月6日 · With the increasing use and easy availability of antifungal agents, it is expected that we will find a variety of resistant fungal strains to these agents. Ongoing efforts to study the development of antifungal resistance mechanisms and experimental systems (like those available in bacteria), to report …
