| الوصف: | Multidrug-resistant fungal pathogens and antifungal drug toxicity have challenged our current ability to fight fungal infections. Therefore, there is a strong global demand for novel antifungal molecules with the distinct mode of action and specificity to service the medical and agricultural sectors. Polyenes are a class of antifungal drugs with the broadest spectrum of activity among the current antifungal drugs. Epipyrone A, a water-soluble antifungal molecule with a unique, linear polyene structure, was isolated from the fungus Epiccocum nigrum. Since small changes in a compound structure can significantly alter its cell target and mode of action, we present here a study on the antifungal mode of action of the disalt of epipyrone A (DEA) using chemical-genetic profiling, fluorescence microscopy, and metabolomics. Our results suggest the disruption of sphingolipid/fatty acid biosynthesis to be the primary mode of action of DEA, followed by the intracellular accumulation of toxic phenolic compounds, in particular p-toluic acid (4-methylbenzoic acid). Although membrane ergosterol is known to be the main cell target for polyene antifungal drugs, we found little evidence to support that is the case for DEA. Sphingolipids, on the other hand, are known for their important roles in fungal cell physiology, and their biosynthesis has been recognized as a potential fungal-specific cell target for the development of new antifungal drugs. |
