Developments of antifungal agents have declined as compared to other
antibiotics that have displayed a potent development with time. There is
an urgent need for both prophylactic and therapeutic treatments
worldwide to control the severity of infections caused by Candida.
Anticandidal Therapeutics: Discovery and Development provides the
readers with a compiled knowledge of the fungal human infection Candida
and the development of anticandidal drugs. Anticandidal Therapeutics
helps researchers form the basis for the discovery and development of
novel anticandidal therapies. In 14 chapters this book provides
collective information on anticandidal agents and their discovery and
development with respect to major drug transporter families, different
stages of anticandidal agent development, recent trends and progress in
antifungal translational research, clinical studies status of
anticandidal therapeutic agents, and drug repurposing for development of
novel anticandidal agents.
