Evaluation of Morphogenic Regulatory Activity of Farnesoic acid and Its Derivatives against Candida albicans Dimorphism
摘要:
A series of farnesoic acid derivatives was prepared and their morphogenic regulatory activities were evaluated. Their inhibitory activities against yeast cell growth and yeast-to-hypha transition examined in Candida albicans cells are dependent upon the chain length as well as the substitution patterns on the isoprenoid template. The preliminary structure-activity relationship of these compounds is described to elucidate the essential structural requirements. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
