Antifungal amphiphilic aminoglycoside K20: bioactivities and mechanism of action
K20 is a novel amphiphilic antifungal aminoglycoside that is synthetically derived from the antibiotic kanamycin A. Reported here are investigations of K20's antimicrobial activities, cytotoxicity, and fungicidal mechanism of action. In vitro growth inhibitory activities against a variety of human and plant pathogenic yeasts, filamentous fungi, and bacteria were determined using microbroth dilu...
متن کاملMechanism of antifungal action of kanosamine.
The antibiotic kanosamine inhibited growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a range of human pathogenic fungi, including Candida albicans. Kanosamine was transported into C. albicans cells by the glucose transport system and subsequently phosphorylated. The product of its intracellular metabolism, kanosamine-6-phosphate, was an inhibitor of the enzyme glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase. Inhibition...
متن کاملAntifungal Amphiphilic Aminoglycosides.
The attachment of alkyl and other hydrophobic groups to traditional antibacterial kanamycins and neomycins creates amphiphilic aminoglycosides with altered antimicrobial properties. In this review, we summarize the discovery of amphiphilic kanamycins that are antifungal, but not antibacterial, and that inhibit the growth of fungi by perturbation of plasma membrane functions. With low toxicities...
متن کاملSynthesis and antifungal bioactivities of 3-alkylquinazolin- 4-one derivatives.
A simple, efficient, and general method has been developed for the synthesis of various 3-alkylquinazolin-4-one derivatives from quinazolin-4-one treated with alkyl bromides under phase transfer catalysis condition. The structures of the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H-NMR and (13)C-NMR spectra. Title compound 6-bromo-3-propylquinazolin-4-one (3h) was found to posse...
متن کاملStudies on the mechanism of the antifungal action of benzoate.
A method is described for the determination of the pH of intracellular water based on the distribution of [14C]benzoate (0.01 mM) between intra- and extra-cellular water. Benzoate at higher concentrations (2-10mM) enters the yeast cell in the undissociated form, and its neutralization within the cell can cause a shift of the pH of the intracellular water by more than 1 pH unit. Benzoate causes ...
