Explain what would be a good magic bullet for fungal infections?
Homework Answers
The main criteria for an ideal antifungal drug would be:
- Must possess broad spectrum activity for filamentous fungi and yeast
- Should be fungicidal not fungistatic
- Should be specific for a particular target in fungi and not interfere with host target molecules like cytochrome P450 enzymes
- Must possess multiple drug delivery methods with oral availability being the most important
- Must possess minimal toxicity or side effects.

Why is it frequently more difficult to treat fungal infections in humans than it is to treat bacterial infections? Select one: a. The cells found in fungi and humans are more similar than cells of bacteria and humans. b. Fungi undergo evolution at a much faster rate than bacteria do. c. Fungi normally grow in and on humans, and treating fungal infections would cause death of the human. d. Humans have not developed medications capable of targeting fungi.

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms. Scientists have found it more challenging to develop treatments for fungal infections (e.g., yeast infections, athlete's foot, and certain nail infections) than for bacterial infections. Why is this so? What distinguishes yeast cells from bacteria cells (list at least two major differences)?

Please design a drug that is an antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antihelminth), yes a magic bullet. You must explain the mode of action of the antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antihelminth portions of your magic bullet. Please explain how your drug will be administered to your patient, and how would you test your drug? Make sure you choose your target sites on each microbe very carefully so you achieve selective toxicity and limiting side effects in your patient
