Luteolin-7-rutinoside has both antifungal activities and anti-arthritic, can result in a combination therapy for the treatment of fungal arthritis due to C. albicans infection.
D13 is an acylhydrazone antifungal.1 It is active against C. neoformans in vitro (MIC80 = 0.06 μg ml). D13 (20 mg kg per day, p.o.) increases survival in mouse models of C. neoformans, C. albicans, or A. fumigatus infection. |1. Lazzarini, C., Haranahalli, K., Rieger, R., et al.

Aureonitol is a fungal metabolite that has been found inChaetomiumand has antiviral activity.1It inhibits replication of the influenza A subtype H3N2 with an EC50value of 30 nM at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.01. It also inhibits replication of laboratory-adapted and clinical isolates of H3N2 (EC50s = 100 and 312 nM, respectively), as well as clinical isolates of the influenza A subtype H1N1 (EC50= 417 nM). Aureonitol inhibits hemagglutination activity of H3N2 and H1N1. 1.Sacramento, C.Q., Marttorelli, A., Fintelman-Rodrigues, N., et al.Aureonitol, a fungi-derived tetrahydrofuran, inhibits influenza replication by targeting its surface glycoprotein hemagglutininPLoS One10(10)e0139236(2015)
BHBM is an acylhydrazone with antifungal activity.1,2 It is active against C. neoformans in vitro (MIC80 = 1 μg/ml).2 BHBM (0.25, 1, and 4 μg/ml) inhibits the synthesis of glucosylceramide, which is essential to fungal cell division, in C. neoformans but not J774 murine macrophages.1 In vivo, BHBM (1.2 mg/kg per day) increases survival in a mouse model of C. neoformans infection. |1.

Calpinactam is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from M. alpina that has antimycobacterial activity. It is active against M. smegmatis (MIC = 0.78 μg ml) but not a panel of 13 other bacteria and fungi. Calpinactam increases survival in a silkworm model of M. smegmatis infection (ED50 = 5 μg larva).
Flutolanil is a benzanilide fungicide. It is active against a panel of 241 field isolates of the plant pathogenic fungus R. solani when grown in flutolanil-enriched growth media. Flutolanil inhibits R. solani hyphal growth and infection cushion formation on rice plant leaf sheaths. It is toxic to zebrafish embryos, larvae, and adults. Formulations containing flutolanil have been used to control fungalinfections on rice crops.
