Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic screens are effective starting points to identify compounds with desirable activities. To find novel antifungals, we conducted a phenotypic screen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and identified two discrete scaffolds with good growth inhibitory characteristics. Lack of broad-spectrum activity against pathogenic fungi called for directed chemical compound optimization requiring knowledge of the molecular...
