---|---|---|
C. albicans ATCC 90028 | ||
SS750 | 0.019 | 0.17 |
FLC | 0.028c | 0.82 |
ITC | 0.019 | 0.04 |
C. krusei ATCC 6258 | ||
SS750 | 0.21 | 1.36 |
FLC | 0.78d | 104.5 |

IC50s were the concentrations needed to inhibit ergosterol synthesis from [14C]mevalonate by 50% in cell extracts of C. albicans ATCC 90028 and C. krusei ATCC 6258. Results are the means of three experiments. Tukey’s multiple comparison test was used to compare the IC50s obtained in the three experiments.
MICs were determined by the broth microdilution method according to NCCLS method M27-A (14).
P < 0.05. versus the IC50s of SS750 and ITC.
P < 0.01 versus the IC50s of SS750 and ITC.
