Identification of New Antifungal Agents Targeting Chitin Synthesis by a Chemical-Genetic Method

Fungal infection is a leading cause of mortality in immunocompromised population; thus, it is urgent to develop new and safe antifungal agents. Different from human cells, fungi have a cell wall, which is composed mainly of polysaccharide glucan and chitin. The unique cell wall structure is an ideal...
