Research Abstract |
The vacuole-disruptive activities of amphotericin B and polymyxin B were evaluated as novel types of fungicidal actions, and their mechanisms have been partly elucidated. This study also found allicin from garlic and zwiebelan from onion as enhancers of vacuole-targeting fungicidal activities of these antifungal agents, and thus proposes enzymatic production of allicin as a substitute for its production by the chemical reaction. A system has been additionally proposed for practically applying the chemotherapy depending on the vacuole-targeting fungicidal activities.
