Cyclic depsipeptide-class molecules, referred to herein as persephacins (including analogs thereof), having similarities to aureobasidin A, are described. The persephacins have antimicrobial activity, such as antifungal activity against a diverse range of clinically -relevant fungal pathogens, antiprotozoan parasite activity, and antibacterial activity, and can be used for example in treatments of difficult-to-treat ocular fungal infections at lower concentrations than natamycin. The active compounds may be combined with a secondary compound in a composition.
本文描述了一类称为Persephacins(包括其类似物)的环状depsipeptide类分子,其与Aureobasidin A具有相似性。 Persephacins具有抗微
生物活性,例如对临床相关真菌病原体的抗真菌活性,抗原虫寄生虫活性和抗菌活性,并且可以用于治疗难以治疗的眼部真菌感染,其浓度低于natamycin。这些活性化合物可以与次级化合物结合在一起形成组合物。
