Fluconazole (UK-49858) is a triazole antifungal agent used to treat oropharyngeal candidiasis and cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS.

Terbinafine hydrochloride (KWD 2019) is a synthetic allylamine derivative structurally related to naftifine. Terbinafine is active against dermatophytes.

Anticandidal agent-1 (compound c2) is a potent, broad-spectrum anticandidal agent that inhibits biofilm formation by blocking hyphal elongation and filamentation, demonstrating activity against C. glabrata and C. albicans with MIC 50 values of 13.51 and 8.65 μg mL, respectively [1].

Rilopirox (HOE 351) initiated a novel antifungal compound for the study of mucosal Candida infections, lichen planus and seborrheic dermatitis.

Embeconazole (R 120758) is a triazole antifungal agent.Embeconazole has strong in vitro activity against clinically important fungi such as Candida, Aspergillus and Cryptococcus neoformans.

3MB-PP1 is a bulky purine analog and a Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) inhibitor. In cells expressing analog-sensitive Plk1 alleles, 3MB-PP1 blocks mitotic progression and cell division arise by targeting Plk1. 3MB-PP1 specifically inhibits analog-sensitive Ssn3 (Cdk8). 3MB-PP1 inhibits Leu93 Mutant Zipper-interacting protein kinase with IC50 of 2 μM. 3MB-PP1 can be used for the research of cell division and hypha formation of Candida albicans.

Inz-1 is an effective and fungal-selective inhibitor of mitochondrial cytochrome bc1 with IC50s of 8.092 and 45.320 μM for yeast and human. Inz-1 reverses Fluconazole or other triazole antifungals' resistance in the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans.

Filastatin is a durable inhibitor of Candida albicans filamentation and exhibits potent antifungal activity.

Monolaurin is a surfactant and emulsifer found in coconut oil. It inhibitis growth of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Gardnerella, Candida, and Haemophilus, and decreases production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Terbinafine (TDT 067) is a synthetic allylamine derivative with antifungal activity. Terbinafine exerts its effect through inhibition of squalene epoxidase, thereby blocking the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes. As a result, this agent disrupts fungal cell membrane synthesis and inhibits fungal growth.

Nystatin (Fungicidin) is a topical and oral antifungal agent with activity against many species of yeast and candida albicans, which is used largely to treat skin and oropharyngeal candidiasis.

4-Methoxybenzaldehyde (p-Anisaldehyde) is a naturally occurring fragrant phenolic compound , it has significant antifungal activity against Candida, including azole-resistant strains.

3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzaldehyde shows anti-Candida efficacy and inhibits adhesion and biofilms.

2,6-Dichlorodiphenylamine, an analogue of Diclofenac Sodium, exhibits anti-Candida albicans activity. Diclofenac Sodium, a potent and nonselective COX inhibitor, has IC50 values of 4 and 1.3 nM for human COX-1 and COX-2 in CHO cells. [1]. Makoto Urai, et al. Potent Drugs That Attenuate anti-Candida albicans Activity of Fluconazole and Their Possible Mechanisms of Action. J Infect Chemother. 2014 Oct;20(10):612-5.

2-Phenylethanol (Phenylethanol) is an antimicrobial, antiseptic, and disinfectant. It is used also as an aromatic essence and preservative in pharmaceutics and perfumery.

L-Citronellol ((S)-(-)-beta-Citronellol) is a small molecule compound isolated from geranium with antifungal activity, affecting fungal membranes.L-Citronellol acts synergistically with amphotericin B against Candida yeast.

1-(4-AMinophenyl)-5,6-dihydro-3-(4-Morpholinyl)-2(1h)-pyridinone has broad-spectrum antifungal activity with inhibitory effects on Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.

(±)-α-Bisabolol (Bisabolol) isa sesquiterpenol extracted from essential oils of chamomile, candida and other plants. It isa natural antiseptic with soothing, antiirritating, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer activities. (±)-α-Bisabolol has anticancer effects on A549 NSC-LC cells by inducing cell cycle arrest, mitochondrial death and inhibiting PI3K Akt signaling (IC50 = 15 μM). (±)-α-Bisabolol can induce apoptosis of glioma cells.

Tebuconazole is an agricultural azole fungicide. It can also inhibit CYP51 (IC50s: 0.9 and 1.3 μM for Candida albicans CYP51 and truncated Homo sapiens CYP51, respectively).

Terconazole (Terazol 7) is a synthetic triazole derivative structurally related to fluconazole, antifungal Terconazole seems to disrupt cell wall synthesis by inhibiting biosynthesis of ergosterol or other sterols, damaging the fungal cell membrane, altering its permeability, and promoting loss of essential intracellular elements. Terconazole is active against Candida sp.

Amphotericin B (NSC-527017) is a polyene antifungal agent with broad-spectrum activity against many fungal species. Amphotericin B irreversibly binds to ergosterol and disrupts the integrity of cell membranes, resulting in antifungal activity.

Caspofungin Acetate (MK 0991) is the acetate salt of an antimycotic echinocandin lipopeptide, semisynthetically derived from a fermentation product of the fungus Glarea lozoyensis. This agent is active against Aspergillus and Candida species.

Rezafungin (SP-3025) is a broad-spectrum and long-lasting echinocandin with potent antifungal activity against Candida, Aspergillus and Pneumocystis.
