Freedom of choice for drugs to treat fungal infections is also narrow because of lesser probability of discovering drugs that would bypass affecting human cells and target fungal cells producing fewer side effects in patients. An approach has gained prominence in research is to look for bioactive antifungal compounds from natural to synthetic sources. It is necessary to discover new classes of antifungals to control the recent emergence of multi-drug resistant fungal infections. This book proposed a details top to bottom outline of antifungal compounds derived naturally or synthetically. The details of their modifications or synthetic analogues have been described, helpful to understand the structure-activity relationship which leads to new compound development in antifungal chemotherapy. Each chapter begins with a comprehensive, top-bottom in-depth discussion of antifungal agents with updated bibliographic references. This compendium will serve as a companion not only for Scientists, Researchers, and Professors, Medical Practitioners but also a valuable reference text for the university students. 000761450 650_0 $$aAntifungal agents. 000761450 7001_ $$aBasak, Amit. 000761450 7001_ $$aChakraborty, Ranadir. 000761450 7001_ $$aMandal, Santi M. 000761450 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tRecent trends in antifungal agents and antifungal therapy.$$d[India] : Springer, ©2016$$z8132227808$$z9788132227809$$w(OCoLC)939532088 000761450 852__ $$bebk 000761450 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-81-322-2782-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000761450 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:761450$$pGLOBAL_SET 000761450 980__ $$aEBOOK 000761450 980__ $$aBIB 000761450 982__ $$aEbook 000761450 983__ $$aOnline 000761450 994__ $$a92$$bISE
