Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Izabela Lacka"
- Izabela Lacka's research primarily focuses on the development of novel antifungal agents to combat multidrug-resistant strains of fungi, particularly targeting Candida species through various synthetic compounds and derivatives.
- Findings highlight the effectiveness of oxathiolone fused chalcone derivatives and dendrimeric lipopeptides in chemosensitizing resistant Candida strains, demonstrating potential for restoring sensitivity to conventional antifungal treatments like fluconazole.
- Additionally, her work includes the synthesis of lipophilic compounds and analysis of their antimicrobial properties, which show enhanced antifungal activity and a promising avenue for overcoming resistance mechanisms in pathogenic fungi.
