Maximum kill rates (KRmax) against C. albicans CAF2a
| Compound | KRmax (per h)b |
|---|---|
| DFD-VI-15 | 0.85 ± 0.05 |
| BD-I-186 | 0.75 ± 0.07 |
| DFD-V-66 | 0.80 ± 0.03 |
| DFD-V-49 | 0.67 ± 0.08 |
| Fluconazole | 0.25 ± 0.10 |
| Micafungin | 0.90 ± 0.04 |
| Amphotericin B | 0.80 ± 0.08 |
The maximum kill rates for DFD-VI-15, BD-I-186, DFD-V-66, DFD-V-49, fluconazole, micafungin, and amphotericin B against C. albicans CAF2 were compared. The BZT derivatives have comparable maximum kill rates to amphotericin B and micafungin but those rates are significantly higher than that to fluconazole. Greater kill rates are indicated by higher KRmax values.
KRmax (per h) data are averages of results from three experiments.
