Antifungal activity of fused Mannich ketones triggers an oxidative stress response and is Cap1-dependent in Candida albicans.
We investigated the antifungal activity of fused Mannich ketone (FMK) congeners and two of their aminoalcohol derivatives. In particular, FMKs with five-membered saturated rings were shown to have minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC90s) ranging from 0.8 to 6 µg/mL toward C. albicans and the closel...
