Brilacidin, a novel antifungal agent against <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>

2024-04-13

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcosis, one of the most prevalent fungal diseases, generally characterized by meningitis. There is a limited and not very effective number of drugs available to combat this disease. In this manuscript, we show the host defense peptide mimetic brilacidin (BRI) as a promising antifungal drug against C. neoformans . BRI is able to affect the organization of the cell membrane, i...
