A sensitive and simplified HPLC assay of fluconazol is described. The calibration curve of fluconazol in plasma ranging $0-10\;{\mu}g/ml$ was linear with the correlation coefficients of 0.9900. The limit of detection was $0.3\;{\mu}g/ml$. The average recovery of the drug was $89.1\;{\pm}\;9.05%$. After oral administration of single dose(150mg) of fluconazol in man, $C_{max}\;and\;T_{max$ were $3\;{mu}g/ml$ and 4hr., respectively.

(1H-1,2,4-Triazolyl) methy-4-(sub). phenyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yliden (3) derivatives were synthesized and tested for their antifungal activities. The designed compounds with a 1,2,4-triazolylmethyl group at the 4-position of 1,3-dioxolan-2-yliden moiety were synthesized by reaction of difluorinated olefins(2) with (2R, 3R)-2-(2,4-dihalophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-l-yl) butane-2,3-diol (1). These compounds were tested for in vitro antifungal activities against 16 fungi species. The MIC values were determined by the micro broth dilution method. In general, 1,3-dioxolan-2-yliden derivatives showed antifungal activities in vitro. Among them, (4R, 5R)-4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-methyl-2-[1-(3,4-methylenedioxypheny)meth-ylidene)-1,3-dioxolon-4-yl(1H-1,2,4-triazollyl)methane showed superior antifungal activities to fluconazol and ketoconazol.

Aquaporin is a water channel protein, which is classified as Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP), found in almost all organisms from bacteria to human. To date, more than 200 members of this family were identified. There are two major categories of MIP channels, orthodox aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins, which facilitate the diffusion across biological membranes of water or glycerol and other uncharged compounds, respectively. The full genome sequencing of various fungal species revealed 3 to 5 aquaporins in their genome. Although some functions of aquaporins found in yeast were characterized, however, no functional characteristics were studied so far in filamentous fungi, including Aspergillus sp. In this study, one orthodox aquaporin homolog gene, aqpA, and four aquaglyceroporin homologs, aqpB-E, in a model filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans were identified and the function of the aqpA gene was characterized. Knock-out of the aqpA gene didn't show any obvious phenotypic change under the osmotic stress, indicating that the function of the gene does not involved in the osmotic stress response or the function could be redundant. However, the mutant showed antifungal susceptibility resistance phenotype, suggesting that the function of the aqpA gene could be involved in sensing the antifungal substances rather than the osmotic stress response.
