- W3199759922 abstract "Candida albicans is a life-threatening, opportunistic fungal pathogen with a high mortality rate, especially within the immunocompromised populations. Multidrug resistance combined with limited antifungal drugs even worsens the situation. Given the facts that the current drug discovery strategies fail to deliver sufficient antifungals for the emerging multidrug resistance, we urgently need to develop novel approaches. By systematically investigating what caused the different antifungal activity of rapamycin in RPMI 1640 and YPD, we discovered that peptide-like compounds can generate a hyper-synergistic antifungal effect with rapamycin on both azole-resistant and sensitive clinical C. albicans isolates. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of rapamycin reaches as low as 2.14 nM (2-9 μg/mL), distinguishing this drug combination as a hyper-synergism by having a fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index ≤ 0.05 from the traditional defined synergism with an FIC index < 0.5. Further studies reveal that this hyper-synergism orthogonally targets the protein Tor1 and affects the TOR signaling pathway in C. albicans, very likely without crosstalk to the stress response, Ras/cAMP/PKA, or calcineurin signaling pathways. These results lead to a novel strategy of controlling drug resistant C. albicans infection in the immunocompromised populations. Instead of prophylactically administering other antifungals with undesirable side-effects for extended durations, we now only need to coadminister some nontoxic peptide additives. The novel antifungal strategy approached in this study not only provides a new therapeutic method to control fungal infections in rapamycin-taking immunocompromised patients but also mitigates the immunosuppressive side-effects of rapamycin, repurposing rapamycin as an antifungal agent with wide applications." @default.
