A Cationic Supramolecule With Potent Antifungal Activity, Single‐Species Selectivity, and Strong Synergy With Echinocandins

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a new membrane‐active antifungal design, Gua‐SMACS‐16, that exhibits high potency and single‐species selectivity for C. tropicalis while sparing other close species in the Candida genus. Moreover, when combining with caspofungin, a clinical antifungal drug inhibiting 1,3‐β‐glucan synthase, they exhibit ultra‐strong synergy across a panel ...

Sterol C-22 desaturase ERG5 mediates the sensitivity to antifungal azoles in Neurospora crassa and Fusarium verticillioides

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Antifungal azoles inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis by interfering with lanosterol 14α-demethylase. In this study, 7 upregulated and 4 downregulated ergosterol biosynthesis genes in response to ketoconazole treatment were identified in Neurospora crassa ...

Asymmetric Reduction of Unactivated Alkenes

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Unactivated alkenes rank among the most inert functional groups in synthesis and their selective reduction remains challenging. This Review charts the evolution from classical metal‐catalyzed hydrogenation to radical hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and emerging biocatalytic concepts, highlighting how complementary mechanistic strategies, including the ...

Analysis of ergosterol and gene expression profiles of sterol ∆5,6-desaturase (ERG3) and lanosterol 14α-demethylase (ERG11) in Candida albicans treated with carvacrol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Introduction: Usually, for treatment of fungal infections, antifungals such as azoles are used, but one of the biggest problems faced in clinical practice is the emergence of resistance for most of these drugs.

Litsea cubeba Essential Oil Reduces Postharvest Blueberry Rot by Inducing Cell Membrane Damage and Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation in Alternaria alternata

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Litsea cubeba essential oil (LCEO) reduces blueberry rot while maintaining quality. It disrupts the cellular structure and membranes of Alternaria alternata, causing solute leakage, while simultaneously inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) damage in the pathogen.
