“…Among the antifungal agents currently used for mycoses, polyenes and azoles, pyrimidines, and echinocandins bind or block the synthesis of ergosterol, disrupt DNA/RNA function, and block β-1,3-glucan biosynthesis, respectively ( 10 ). Drug development tends to focus on echinocandins, which act on the fungal cell wall ( 10 , 11 ), are essential for fungal growth, and are absent from human cells ( 12 , 13 ). The fungal cell wall is mainly composed of β-1,3-glucan, β-1,6-glucan, chitin, and mannoprotein ( 10 , 14 ).…”
