An overview of potential antifungal targets against a Candida biofilm based on an enzyme in the arachidonic acid cascade. Gene (green); enzyme (pink); metabolites (blue); inhibitors (yellow); Question mark: PG E2 can regulate biofilm morphogenesis, biofilm formation and biofilm adherence, whether PGE2 modulates biofilm formation of C. albicans by regulating these genes is uncertain; cPLA2a, cytosolic PLA2a; CYP, cytochrome P450; LOX, lipoxygenase; COX, cyclooxygenase; mPGES, microsomal; prostaglandin E2 synthase; NSAIDS, Non-Steroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs; PGG2, prostaglandin G2; PGH2, prostaglandin H2; PGE2, prostaglandin E2; NO, nitric oxide.
