  • Title: [Effect of amigluracil and levorin on membrane permeability and protein synthesis in Candida albicans protoplasts].
    Author: Obukhovskaia AS, Lishnevskaia EB, Tereshin IM.
    Journal: Antibiotiki; 1978 Apr; 23(4):345-8. PubMed ID: 348091.
    Abstract:
    It was shown that amigluracyl, a water soluble derivative of methacyl which decreased the nephrotoxic effect of polyens activated the membrane permeability in Candida albicans for a mixture of 14C-amino acids but had no significant effect on protein synthesis in this microorganism. The level of inhibition of the membrane permeability in C. albicans for the amino acids and protein synthesis in the fungus by levorin did not practically depend on the presence of amigluracyl in the incubation medium. The minimum levorin concentration inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans in the presence or absence of levorin was 0.039 gamma/ml. Therefore, amigluracyl may be used in combination with polyenic antibiotics for the treatment of mycoses.
