Efficacy of ambruticin analogs in a murine model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
Ambruticins are a family of polyketides. The antifungal activity of an ambruticin,KOSN-2079, was tested in the mouse model of invasive aspergillosis.KOSN-2079 significantly reduced pulmonary fungal burdens and improved survival over that with the vehicle control. These results support the continued development of ambruticins as antifungal agents. (Source: The Aspergillus Website - updates)

Efficacy of the investigational echinocandin ASP9726 in a guinea pig model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
ASP9726 is an investigational echinocandin with in vitro activity against Aspergillus species. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of this agent in an established guinea pig model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.ASP9726 plasma concentrations were measured in guinea pigs administered either a single dose or multiple doses of this agent at 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg of body weight/day by subcutaneous injection. Immunosuppressed guinea pigs were inoculated with A. (Source: The Aspergillus Website - updates)
