Design, synthesis, and biodistribution studies of new analogues of marine alkaloids: Potent in vitro and in vivo fungicidal agents against Candida spp.

Invasive candidiasis, such as intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC), is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. IAC is still poorly understood, and its treatment represents a challenge for public health. In this study, we showed the in vitro anti-Candida activity of four alkaloid synthetic derivatives and their antifungal potential in a murine model of IAC.
