Antifungal Agent May 2026

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms found in nearly every environment. While most are harmless, a specific subset can cause human diseases ranging from mild skin conditions to life-threatening systemic infections. Because both humans and fungi are eukaryotes, they share similar cellular and molecular processes. This biological similarity makes it exceptionally challenging to develop drugs that selectively eliminate fungal pathogens without causing toxicity to the human host. 🎯 Primary Classes and Mechanisms of Action
