Researchers have discovered a new way to combat fungal infections by blocking their ability to make fatty acids, potentially affecting a broad range of fungal species. Through screening the RIKEN natural product depository (NPDepo) and identifying a specific compound, NPD6433, that inhibits fatty acid synthase, they found this approach reduced fatalities in infected laboratory worms […]
