โฆ Synopsis
Antifungal agents alter the function and morphology of Candida cell membranes and cell walls. We observed that brief (30 minute) exposure to either amphotericin B or clotrimazole inhibited the agglutination of Candida blastoconidia by murine bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. This inhibition required continuous drug presence. Neither amphotericin nor clotrimazole inhibited Candida agglutination by concanavalin A or pooled human serum. These results demonstrate that antifungal drugs can produce rapid changes in the surface characteristics of some fungi.

The newer oral antifungal agents, such as fluconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine, are generally both effective and well tolerated in the management of widespread or resistant dermatomycoses such as onychomycosis. However, these agents differ markedly in their potential to cause clinically signifi
Several monoamino bis(propynyloxy)benzenes were prepared by a Mannich reaction and tested for antifungal activity against Trichophyton schoenleini, T. mentagraphytes, T. tonsurans, Candida albicans, and Epidermophyton flocossum. In addition, the bis(propynyloxy)benzene intermediates were tested and
