Research on the Isolation, Cell Toxicity and Antifungal Activity Against Candida albicans of Novel Decarboxylated FR-008/Candicidin Derivative CS103
基因工程FR-008/杀念菌素脱羧衍生物CS103的分离提取及毒性和抗白色念珠菌活性研究

Based on founding the methods for isolation and purification of the novel decarboxylated FR-008/Candicidin derivative CS103, we obtained enough samples for testing from the culture mycelia of the mutant of Streptomyces FR-008. Through comparing the cell toxicities on Human Embryonic Kidney Cells 293, haemolytic activities on human erythrocytes and antifungal activities on C. albicans, we found that the toxicity of decarboxylated FR-008/Candicidin derivative CS103 had been lower than FR-008/Candicidin and Amphoteicin B, while it still had high antifungal activity on C. albicans.
