TABLE 1.

MIC values for NIH clinical collection and Pathogen Box compounds against A. fumigatus

Compound MIC (μM) Description Mode of action Reference
Econazole nitrate 12.5 Broad-spectrum antimycotic agent Inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis 120
Fluvastatin 25 Statin drug class used for hypercholesterolemia treatment; demonstrated antifungal activity against some fungal species Blocks ergosterol biosynthesis by inhibition of farnesyl pyrophosphate production 121
