Recent Trends in Antifungal Agents and Antifungal Therapy

Editat de Amit Basak, Ranadhir Chakraborty, Santi M. Mandal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 iun 2018
Fungalinfections have taken a new spectrum due to the increased incidence ofmulti-drug resistant fungal pathogens. Freedom of choice for drugs to treatfungal infections is also narrow because of lesser probability of discovering drugsthat would bypass affecting human cells and target fungal cells producing fewerside effects in patients. An approach has gained prominence in research is tolook for bioactive antifungal compounds from natural to synthetic sources. Itis necessary to discover new classes of antifungals to control the recentemergence of multi-drug resistant fungal infections. This book proposed adetails top to bottom outline of antifungal compounds derived naturally orsynthetically. The details of their modifications or synthetic analogues havebeen described, helpful to understand the structure-activity relationship whichleads to new compound development in antifungal chemotherapy. Each chapterbegins with a comprehensive, top-bottom in-depth discussion of antifungalagents with updated bibliographic references. This compendium will serve as acompanion not only for Scientists, Researchers, and Professors, MedicalPractitioners but also a valuable reference text for the university students.

Notă biografică

Amit Basak, currentlyProfessor of Chemistry and Chairman, School of Bioscience, IIT Kharagpur,obtainedhis Ph.D. (natural product chemistry) from Calcutta University and D. Phil. (penicillinbiosynthesis) from University of Oxford. He then worked on clavulanic acidbiosynthesis as a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins University. Hisresearch interests involve understanding the mechanism of diradical generatingreactions and their applications, development of enzyme inhibitors asantimicrobial agents and molecular capture chemistry. He has received severalprestigious awards and fellowships for his research contribution.
Ranadhir Chakraborty was born inDarjeeling. He has worked for Ph.D in the Department of Microbiology, BoseInstitute, Kolkata, India. He is at present serving the Department ofBiotechnology, University of North Bengal, in the capacity of Professor andHead. He maintained a perfect blend of classical and modern microbiology in hisongoing journey of Science. He probes some basic scientific problems includingantimicrobial resistance with cutting edge technology of every passing time period.
Santi M. Mandal obtained his Ph D in the field of MolecularMicrobiology and continuing research with major focus in AntimicrobialChemotherapy. He visited UTMB-USA and NUS-Singapore for his postdoctoraltraining. Recently, he is working as an Assistant Professor of Microbiology atVidyasagar University, India. He has published more than 90 research papers inreputed journals and conferred upon several prestigious awards for his researchcontribution.
