Repositioning Antimicrobial Peptides Against WHO‐Priority Fungi

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
The growing burden of drug‐resistant fungal infections, driven by pathogens such as Candida auris, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, underscores the urgent need for novel antifungal therapies. This review explores antimicrobial peptides as promising agents with membrane‐disruptive activity, immunomodulatory properties, and delivery ...

Acrophiarin (antibiotic S31794/F-1) from Penicillium arenicola shares biosynthetic features with both Aspergillus- and Leotiomycete-type echinocandins.

Environmental Microbiology, 2020
The antifungal echinocandin lipopeptide, acrophiarin, was circumscribed in a patent in 1979. We confirmed that the producing strain NRRL 8095 is Penicillium arenicola and other strains of P.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel 2‐(Piperidin‐4‐yl)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline and 2‐(Piperidin‐4‐yl)decahydroisoquinoline Antimycotics

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 358, Issue 10, October 2025.
A series of 13 hybrid molecules of both lead structures were prepared using reductive amination as key reaction step. The antimycotic potency of the resulting compounds was evaluated against yeast and mold species. Two compounds showed remarkable potency against several yeasts, and even against Candida krusei.

The Surgical Infection Society revised guidelines on the management of intra-abdominal infection [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Previous evidence-based guidelines on the management of intra-abdominal infection (IAI) were published by the Surgical Infection Society (SIS) in 1992, 2002, and 2010. At the time the most recent guideline was released, the plan was to update

Evaluation of the Antifungal Properties of Azomethine‐Pyrazole Derivatives from a Structural Perspective

ChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2025.
A series of azomethine‐pyrazole derivatives bearing a para‐substituted azo‐phenyl ring is straightforwardly prepared. The new compounds display an elevated antifungal activity against various Candida species and Cryptococcus neoformans strains. DFT and molecular docking calculations are used to determine possible routes of action through interactions ...

Identification of Pyrrolizilactone Biosynthetic Gene Cluster with Unique Short‐Chain Dehydrogenase Gene for 3‐Methylproline Formation

ChemistryEurope, Volume 3, Issue 5, September 18, 2025.
A standalone enzyme, derived from the reductase domain of a polyketide synthase‐nonribosomal peptide synthetase hybrid enzyme, is identified as a pyrroline carboxylate reductase. This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of 3‐methylproline, an amino acid building block of a unique tricyclic pyrrolizidinone structure of a fungal metabolite ...

Farnesol increases the activity of echinocandins against Candida auris biofilms.

Medical Mycology, 2019
Candida auris biofilms exhibit decreased susceptibility to echinocandins, which is associated with poorer clinical outcomes. Farnesol is a quorum-sensing molecule enhancing the activity of antifungals; therefore, we evaluated the in vitro effect of ...
