Treatment of fungal infections with enfumafungin derivative triterpenoids
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230364067A1) discloses a method for treating fungal infections in individuals in need of medical intervention. The method involves administering a specific compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the subject. The compound is defined by a specific chemical formula (Formula I) and includes various substituents such as C1-C3 alkyl groups and heteroaryl rings containing nitrogen atoms. Importantly, the treatment is targeted towards fungal infections caused by yeast or mold, occurring in environments with a pH lower than about 7.
Furthermore, the patent outlines the administration methods for the compound or its salt, which can be done either topically or via intra-lesional injection. The treatment is specifically designed for fungal infections such as fungal abscess, empyema, and infections of the upper gastrointestinal tract. By targeting these specific types of fungal infections in individuals with lower pH environments, the method aims to provide an effective and targeted treatment option for patients in need of fungal infection management.
