“By contrast, ROS remained elevated when AMB was tested alone, demonstrating that NAC reduced AMB oxidative effects without influencing its antifungal activity.”
“ NAC alone reduced the oxidative burst generated by AMB in yeast cells, but did not inhibit fungal growth.”
“The combination of NAC + AMB was far better than AMB alone in increasing survival and reducing morbidity in murine-induced cryptococcosis, leading to reduced fungal burden in lungs and brain and also lower concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the lungs.”
“The combination NAC + AMB decreased capsule size, zeta potential, superoxide dismutase activity and lipid peroxidation.”
“In conclusion, EDTA, NAC , RIF, and CLA improve the activity of AMB and ANF against biofilms developed on both surfaces, which could be an effective strategy against C. tropicalis biofilm-related infections.”
