Abstract excerpt
The yeast plasma membrane proton pumping ATPase (H(+)-ATPase) was investigated as a potential molecular target for antifungal drug therapy by examining the inhibitory effects of the sulfhydryl-reactive reagent omeprazole on cell growth, glucose-induced medium acidification and H(+)-ATPase activity. Omeprazole inhibits the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the human pathogenic yeast Candida albicans in a pH...
