摘要
Eugenol (1) and thymol (2) exhibit excellent fungicidal activity against pathogenic yeasts, including isolates resistant to azoles. The rapid irreversible action of compound-1 and compound 2 on fungal cells suggested a membrane-located target for their action. We investigated their effect on H+-ATPase mediated H+-pumping by various Candida species. Both compounds inhibit H+-ATPase activity at their respective MIC values - 500 and 100 mu g/ml. Glucose stimulated H+-extrusion was also inhibited significantly by compound 1 and compound 2. Inhibition of H+-ATPase leads to intracellular acidification and cell death. Inhibition of cell growth and H+-efflux by test compounds suggests that their antifungal properties are related to their inhibitory effects on H+-ATPase. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
