An increase in the frequency of mycoses and spreading of multidrug-resistant fungal
pathogens necessitates the search for new antifungal agents. Earlier, we isolated the novel …

β-defensins are one of the most abundant and studied families of antimicrobial peptides
(AMPs). Because of their selective toxicity to bacterial membranes and a broad spectrum of …

With the aim of discovering novel and effective antifungal agents derived from natural
sources, a series of new biphenyls based on natural biphenyl phytoalexins were designed …

Fungal infections represent a significant health risk worldwide. Opportunistic infections
caused by yeasts, particularly by Candida spp. and their virulent emerging isolates, have …
