The subject invention pertains to methods for producing novel occidiofungin analogues lacking xylose (OF-Δxyl analogue). OF-Δxyl analogues can contain aldehyde, amine, triazole, or hydrazones. The aldehyde, amine, triazole or hydrazone containing analogues of OF-Δxyl can be further modified by substitution with additional functional groups. Various OF-Δxyl analogues described herein have reduced inflammation and toxicity and superior pharmacological properties compared to the natural occidiofungins. Accordingly, certain embodiments of the invention provide methods of treating or preventing fungal infections by administering to the subjects in need thereof the OF-Δxyl analogues described herein.
本发明涉及一种生产缺乏
木糖(OF-Δxyl)的新型欧氏卡菌素类似物的方法。OF-Δxyl类似物可以包含醛基,胺基,三唑基或
肼酮基。 OF-Δxyl的醛基,胺基,三唑基或
肼酮基含有类似物可以通过进一步替换附加的功能基团进行修饰。本文描述的各种OF-Δxyl类似物具有降低炎症和毒性以及优越的药理特性,与天然欧氏卡菌素相比。因此,本发明的某些实施例提供了通过向需要该类物质的受试者施用本文所述的OF-Δxyl类似物来治疗或预防真菌感染的方法。
