The search for new drugs against fungal infections is a major challenge to current research in mycotic diseases. The present article reviews the current types of antifungal infections, the current scenario of antifungal antibiotics, and the need and approaches to search for newer antifungal antibiotics and antifungal drug targets.

Medical Journal of Australia, 2007
The four main classes of antifungal drugs are the polyenes, azoles, allylamines and echinocandins. Clinically useful "older" agents include topical azole formulations (for superficial yeast and dermatophyte infections), first-generation triazoles (fluconazole and itraconazole, for a range of superficial and invasive fungal infections), amphotericin B ...

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1983
When the decision to treat a fungal infection is made, there are several antifungal agents available for use. AmB remains the first-line drug in the treatment of most systemic fungal infections. Miconazole should be used to treat patients who cannot tolerate AmB or who are infected with AmB-resistant organisms.

The increase in fungal infections and the change in fungal epidemiology is caused by the extensive use of antifungal agents to treat fungal infections that are being diagnosed in severly immunocompromised hosts. In addition, opportunistic fungal infections resistant to antifungal drugs have become increasingly common, and the armamentarium for ...

Pediatrics In Review, 1995
Introduction Fungi have been recognized as pathogens for many years. However, the incidence of fungal infections in the pediatric population has increased substantially due to the increased use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, immunosuppressive agents, hyperalimentation products, and central venous catheters in addition to the acquired ...

Antifungals and antifungal drug discovery.
2012Abstract This chapter discusses: (1) important clinical aspects of invasive clinical mycoses, i.e., candidosis and aspergillosis; (2) current antifungal therapeutic options for invasive mycoses; (3) antifungal drug resistance; and (4) approaches to antifungal drug discovery, including identification of drug targets.

From the soil of the San Joaquin Valley a fungus has been isolated, an extract of which inhibits the growth of Coccidioides immitis on Sabouraud's medium. An acute toxicity study in mice indicates a certain tolerance of the extract. Tentative identification indicates that the fungus is a penicillium.

Determining the optimal polyene antifungal dosing in obese patients is considered highly challenging. Limited data are available to describe the pharmacokinetics of polyene antifungals in these patients. However, polyene antifungals demonstrate widely variable pharmacokinetics in various clinical conditions.

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2008
Invasive fungal infections remain a serious complication for critically ill ICU patients. The aim of this article is to review recent efficacy data of newer antifungal agents for the treatment of invasive candidiasis. The influence that recent epidemiological trends, advances in diagnostic testing, and risk prediction methods exert on the optimization ...
