A direct comparison of oral treatments with BAY-n-7133, BAY-1-9139 and ketoconazole in experimental murine coccidioidomycosis. 1984

H B Levine

Two new experimental antifungal azole drugs were compared with ketoconazole for the management of experimental murine coccidioidomycosis. The first, BAY-n-7133, a triazole, was superior to the second, BAY-1-9139, an imidazole derivative. Neither BAY drug was as effective as ketoconazole in early fulminant coccidioidomycosis of mice, in later disseminated disease and in deep-seated chronic disease. A possible limitation of BAY-n-7133 in the mouse model was its reported capacity to induce enzyme changes that accelerated its clearance from serum. Induction of such an enzyme response in human beings has been reported not to occur.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007093	Imidazoles	Compounds containing 1,3-diazole, a five membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms separated by one of the carbons. Chemically reduced ones include IMIDAZOLINES and IMIDAZOLIDINES. Distinguish from 1,2-diazole (PYRAZOLES).
D007654	Ketoconazole	Broad spectrum antifungal agent used for long periods at high doses, especially in immunosuppressed patients.	Nizoral,R-41400,R41,400,R41400,R 41400
D002621	Chemistry	A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D003045	Coccidioides	A mitosporic fungal genus which causes COCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS.	Coccidioides immitis
D003047	Coccidioidomycosis	Infection with a fungus of the genus COCCIDIOIDES, endemic to the SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. It is sometimes called valley fever but should not be confused with RIFT VALLEY FEVER. Infection is caused by inhalation of airborne, fungal particles known as arthroconidia, a form of FUNGAL SPORES. A primary form is an acute, benign, self-limited respiratory infection. A secondary form is a virulent, severe, chronic, progressive granulomatous disease with systemic involvement. It can be detected by use of COCCIDIOIDIN.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000935	Antifungal Agents	Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues.
