Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2019 Mar; 63(6). PMID: 30910896
The fungal Cyp51-specific inhibitors VT-1161 and VT-1598 have emerged as promising new therapies to combat fungal infections, including spp. To evaluate their activities compared to other azoles, MICs were determined...

Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2018 Dec; 63(3). PMID: 30530603
is an emerging pathogen associated with significant mortality and often multidrug resistance. VT-1598, a tetrazole-based fungal CYP51-specific inhibitor, was evaluated and against Susceptibility testing was performed against 100 clinical isolates...

Break T, Desai J, Healey K, Natarajan M, Ferre E, Henderson C, et al.
J Antimicrob Chemother . 2018 May; 73(8):2089-2094. PMID: 29788070
Background: Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) treatment often induces drug resistance, posing long-term challenges. A novel broad-spectrum fungal CYP51 inhibitor, VT-1598, specifically targets fungal CYP51, but not human CYP enzymes. Objectives:...

Wiederhold N, Shubitz L, Najvar L, Jaramillo R, Olivo M, Catano G, et al.
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2018 Feb; 62(4). PMID: 29437615
Coccidioidal meningitis can cause significant morbidity, and lifelong antifungal therapy is often required. VT-1598 is a fungus-specific Cyp51 inhibitor that has potent activity against species. We evaluated the efficacy of...

Bioorg Med Chem Lett . 2017 Jun; 27(15):3243-3248. PMID: 28651982
While the orally-active azoles such as fluconazole and posaconazole are effective antifungal agents, they potently inhibit a broad range of off-target human cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) leading to various safety...

Hargrove T, Garvey E, Hoekstra W, Yates C, Wawrzak Z, Rachakonda G, et al.
Antimicrob Agents Chemother . 2017 May; 61(7). PMID: 28461309
Within the past few decades, the incidence and complexity of human fungal infections have increased, and therefore, the need for safer and more efficient, broad-spectrum antifungal agents is high. In...
