Effects of Fluconazole Discontinuation on the Pharmacokinetics of Immunosuppression in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley Fever, is a fungal infection endemic to the southwest United States and represents a significant risk to immunocompromised individuals living in this region. In accordance with guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the heart transplant (HTx) program at Phoenix Children ’s recently elected to transition our prophylaxis protocol from lifelong fluconazole (Fluc) to coverage during the first year post-transplant with enhanced surveillance thereafter.

Gallic Acid Derived 1, 2-Diarylindole as a Potential Antifungal Agent against Candida Strain
CONCLUSION: In the present study, 100DL6 (indole derivatives) significantly abrupted the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway and showed moderate anti-candidal effects. These studies suggest that 100DL6 significantly enhances antifungal effect of clinical drug fluconazole synergistically and may be considered as in clinical trial prior to some extensive in-vivo validations.PMID:38549526 | DOI:10.2174/0115680266278892240102045630 (Source: Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry)

Hydrazone-containing organotin(IV) complexes: synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial, antioxidant activity and molecular-docking studies
Biometals. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1007/s10534-024-00593-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe diorganotin(IV) complexes (5-20) were synthesized in the present research from 4-fluorophenoxyacetic hydrazide and salicylaldehyde derivatives-based hydrazone ligands (1-4) to get an effective biological agent to combat microbial and oxidant deformities. Numerous spectral techniques such as (1H, 13C, 119Sn) NMR, UV-Vis, IR, and mass spectrometry were executed to illuminate the composition of complexes. These techniques ascertained tridentate chelation of hydrazone ligands with tin metal through enolic, phenolic oxygens and imine nitr...

Optimizing fluconazole-embedded transfersomal gel for enhanced antifungal activity and compatibility studies
Fungal infections are of major concern all over the globe, and fluconazole is the most prevalently used drug to treat it. The goal of this research work was to formulate a fluconazole-embedded transfersomal gel for the treatment of fungal infections. A compatibility study between fluconazole and soya lecithin was performed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Transfersomes were formulated by a thin-film hydration technique using soya lecithin and Span 80. A central composite design was adopted to prepare different formulations. Soya lecithin and Span 80 were chosen as independent variables, and the effect of these v...

< em > N < /em > -3-Methylbutyl-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one Exerts Antifungal Activity In Vitro and in a Mouse Model of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis
Curr Issues Mol Biol. 2024 Mar 14;46(3):2480-2496. doi: 10.3390/cimb46030157.ABSTRACTIn the present work, we evaluated the antifungal activities of two novel ebselen analogs, N-allyl-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one (N-allyl-bs) and N-3-methylbutylbenzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one (N-3mb-bs). Colorimetric and turbidity assays were performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of these compounds in S1 (fluconazole-sensitive) and S2 (fluconazole-resistant) strains of C. albicans. N-3mb-bs was more active than the N-allyl-bs compound. It is noteworthy that the concentration of N-3mb-bs observed to inhibit fungal growth...
