CAY-1 is a fungicidal saponin from cayenne pepper whose mode of action differs from amphotericin B (AB) and itraconazole (IT). This work determined CAY-1 synergism with AB or IT.
CAY-1 was purified and used in checkerboard microdilution studies where CAY-1 and AB or IT were mixed with nongerminated (NG) and germinating (G) conidia of three Aspergillus species and Candida albicans. Inhibition was visually determined at 24 and 48 h.
CAY-1 had predominantly additive-synergistic interaction with AB or IT against the Aspergillus NG and G conidia. Excellent synergy between CAY-1 and AB occurred at 24 and 48 h against C. albicans. Results suggest CAY-1 enhances AB and IT efficacy.
CAY-1是一种来自辣椒的具有杀真菌作用的皂苷,其作用方式不同于两性霉素B(AB)和伊曲康唑(IT)。本研究确定了CAY-1与AB或IT的协同作用。
纯化CAY-1并用于棋盘微量稀释研究,将CAY-1与AB或IT分别与三种曲霉菌和白色念珠菌的未萌发(NG)和已萌发(G)分生孢子混合。在24小时和48小时时通过肉眼观察抑制情况。
CAY-1与AB或IT对曲霉菌的未萌发和已萌发分生孢子主要呈现相加-协同相互作用。在24小时和48小时时,CAY-1与AB对白色念珠菌呈现出优异的协同作用。结果表明CAY-1可增强AB和IT的疗效。
