Unraveling the importance of molecules of natural origin in antifungal drug development through targeting ergosterol biosynthesis pathway
Over the past decades, the incidence of life-threatening fungal infections has increased dramatically in particular among patients with hampered immune function. Fungal infections cause around 1.5 million deaths annually, superior to malaria and tuberculosis. With respect to high toxicity, narrow s...
