This Special Issue is designed to highlight the latest research and development on new antifungal compounds with mechanisms of action different from the ones of polyenes, azoles, and echinocandins. The papers presented here highlight new pathways and targets that could be exploited for the future development of new antifungal agents to be used alone or in combination with existing antifungals. A computational model for better predicting antifungal drug resistance is also presented.
本期特刊旨在突出新型抗真菌化合物的最新研究与开发成果,这些化合物的作用机制有别于多烯类、唑类和棘白菌素类。此处发表的论文突出了一些新途径和靶点,这些可用于未来单独或与现有抗真菌药物联合使用的新型抗真菌药物的开发。还介绍了一个用于更好地预测抗真菌药物耐药性的计算模型。
