2',4'-Dihydroxychalcone (2',4'-DHC) was identified from a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90)-targeting library as a compound with Hsp90 inhibitory and antifungal effects. In the presence of 2',4'-DHC ($8{\mu}g/mL$), radial growth of Aspergillus fumigatus was inhibited 20% compared to the control, and green pigmentation was completely blocked. The expression of the conidiation-associated genes abaA, brlA, and wetA was significantly decreased (approximately 3- to 5-fold) by treatment with 2',4'-DHC. The expression of calcineurin signaling components, cnaA and crzA, was also significantly reduced. The inhibitory effects of 2',4'-DHC on metabolic activity and mycelial growth were significantly enhanced by combination treatment with itraconazole and caspofungin. Docking studies indicated that 2',4'-DHC bind to the ATPase domain of Hsp90. These results suggest that 2',4'-DHC act as an Hsp90-calcinurin pathway inhibitor.

The yeast Williopsis californica was shown to secrete a unique broad-spectrum killer toxin (Wicaltin) with antifungal activity against 14 yeast genera, including yeast-like and mycelial forms of the human pathogens Candida albicans and Sporothrix schenkii. Agar diffusion bioassays indicated that its activity was more pronounced than the antifungal potential of frequently used antimycotics; 0.07 pmol Wicaltin showed the same toxicity as 0.2 pmol miconazole and 29 pmol clotrimazole. Since the toxin's primary target would appear to be the yeast cell wall, Wicaltin may be attractive in combatting clinically relevant yeast and fungal infections.

여러 식물의 근권에서 세균 균주들을 분리하여 이들의 항진균성 물질 생성능을 조사하였다. 분리균주 중 Fusarium oxysproum을 포함한 5가지 주요 식물병원성 진균에 대한 생장저해가 우수한 7개 균주를 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열로 동정하였다. 이들 중 Paenibacillus peoriae RhAn32, Pseudomonas otitidis TK1과 Bacillus cereus TK2가 가장 넓은 생장 저해범위를 나타내었으며 항진균성 물질 중 siderophore 생성능은 P. otitidis TK1이 3.21 mM/ml로 가장 높았고 HCN은 Pseudomonas koreensis Rh2와 Rh7 균주만이 생성하였으며 Brevibacterium frigoritolerans EnA9와 P. peoriae RhAn32는 각각 1558.9와 $1436.7{\mu}M$ glucose/min/mg protein의 높은 chitinase 활성을 나타내었다. P. otitidis TK1과 P. peoriae RhAn32의 항진균능을 진균과의 공동배양을 통해 정량분석한 결과 세 종류의 Fusarium oxysproum의 생장을 유의성 있게 저해하였다. P. otitidis TK1은 식물생장을 촉진하는 호르몬인 auxin의 생성능도 가장 높았는데 이 균주를 4주 자란 토마토 유묘에 F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici와 동시에 접종하여 8주간 재배하였을 때 줄기와 뿌리 길이 및 습윤 중량이 비접종 대조군에 비해 각각 45.7, 64.9와 118%로 유의성 있게 증가하였다. 따라서 이 균주들은 유기합성농약을 대체하면서 식물생장을 촉진하는 미생물제로서의 적용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

In response to fungal invasion and other signals, plants accumulate a number of proteins that are involved in defense against pathogens. Osmotin is a 24 kDa protein belonging to the pathogenesis-related (PR) protein, a component of the hypersensitive response in leaves of tobacco plants exposed to tobacco mosaic virus.(omitted)

Chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide, has been widely used as a dietary supplement and in a variety of pharmacological and biomedical applications. The antifungal activity and mechanism of action of low molecular weight water-soluble chitosan (LMWS-chitosan) were studied in fungal cells and vesicles containing various compositions of fungal lipids. LMWS-chitosan showed strong antifungal activity against various pathogenic yeasts and hyphae-forming fungi but no hemolytic activity or cytotoxicity against mammalian cells. The degree of calcein leakage was assessed on the basis of lipid composition (PC/CH; 10:1, w/w). Our result showing that LMWS-chitosan interacts with liposomes demonstrated that chitosan induces leakage from zwitterionic lipid vesicles. Confocal microscopy revealed that LMWS-chitosan was located in the plasma membrane. Finally, scanning electron microscopy revealed that LMWS-chitosan causes significant morphological changes on fungal surfaces. Its potent antibiotic activity suggests that LMWS-chitosan is an excellent candidate as a lead compound for the development of novel anti-infective agents.
