Investigating the Antifungal Mechanism of Action of Polygodial by Phenotypic Screening in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
Polygodial is a “hot” peppery-tasting sesquiterpenoid that was first described for its anti-feedant activity against African armyworms. Using the haploid deletion mutant library of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a genome-wide mutant screen was performed to shed more light on polygodial’s antifungal mechanism of action. We identified 66 deletion strains that

Mode of Action of Polygodial, an Antifungal Sesquiterpene Dialdehyde [PDF]
The mechanism of polygodial antifungal action was studied using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It inhibited the incorporation of radioactive precursors into macromolecules in whole cells. However, no specificity in the inhibition of precursor incorporation was observed among various species of macromolecules, i.e., DNA, RNA, protein, and polysaccharide.
