Journal: Pandemic Response Box® library as a source of antifungal drugs against Scedosporium and Lomentospora species. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 4, 2023 Reactive oxygen species production, mitochondrial activity and surface components were analyzed by fluorescent probes when S. aurantiacum was treated with selected drugs and revealed that some cell parameters are altered by these compounds. In conclusion, alexidine, amorolfine and olorofim were identified as promising compounds to be studied against scedosporiosis and lomentosporiosis.

Preclinical, Journal: In Vitro Activity of the Novel Antifungal Olorofim against Scedosporium and Lomentospora prolificans. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 12, 2023 The manuscript contributes to our knowledge of the activity of the new antifungal agent olorofim and comparator agents against Lomentospora and against Scedosporium isolates that have been molecularly identified to the species level. The efficacy of olorofim against all species of Scedosporium and Lomentospora was confirmed.

Although critical information regarding the performance of these agents in heavily immunosuppressed patients is pending, they may provide useful additions to current therapies in some clinical scenarios, including IFI caused by azole-resistant Aspergillus or multi-resistant fungal pathogens (e.g. Candida auris, Lomentospora prolificans). However, their limited activity against Mucorales and some other opportunistic molds (e.g. some Fusarium spp.) persists as a major unmet need.

Others include new agents within established classes or with mechanisms of action similar to clinically available antifungals (ibrexafungerp, rezafungin, oteseconazole, opelconazole, MAT2203) that have been modified in order to improve certain characteristics, including enhanced pharmacokinetics and greater specificity for fungal targets...The tolerability and drug-drug interaction profiles of these new agents also appear to be promising, although the number of human subjects that have been exposed to many of these agents remains relatively small. Overall, these agents have the potential for expanding our antifungal armamentarium and improving clinical outcomes in patients with invasive mycoses.

Isavuconazole and ibrexafungerp represent the two newest antifungal agents...Its utility in treating voriconazole-resistant Candida should be confirmed with susceptibility testing if available...Multiple antifungals, some with novel mechanisms, are in development, including rezafungin, oteseconazole, olorofim, fosmanogepix, and opelconazole...Such an array of antifungals will be important as antifungal resistance continues to expand alongside evolving medical practices. However, managing resistant fungal infections will grow in complexity as the unique role of each new agent is defined.

Review, Journal: Novel Promising Antifungal Target Proteins for Conquering Invasive Fungal Infections. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 6, 2022 Olorofim, as an inhibitor of dihydrolactate dehydrogenase, is a breakthrough drug treatment for IFIs. These novel target proteins and their inhibitors may overcome the limitations of currently available antifungal drugs and improve patient outcomes in the treatment of IFIs.

Invasive fungal diseases due to resistant yeasts and molds are an important and increasing public health threat, likely due to a growing population of immunosuppressed hosts, increases in antifungal resistance, and improvements in laboratory diagnostics. The significant morbidity and mortality associated with these pathogens bespeaks the urgent need for novel safe and effective therapeutics. This review highlights promising investigational antifungal agents in clinical phases of development: fosmanogepix, ibrexafungerp, rezafungin, encochleated amphotericin B, oteseconazole (VT-1161), VT-1598, PC945, and olorofim. We examine three first-in-class members of three novel antifungal classes, as well as new agents within existing antifungal classes with improved safety and tolerability profiles due to enhanced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.

Preclinical, Journal: Screening the pandemic response box identified benzimidazole carbamates, Olorofim and ravuconazole as promising drug candidates for the treatment of eumycetoma. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 26, 2022 The current antifungal agents used to treat eumycetoma are itraconazole or terbinafine, however, their cure rates are low...They are the benzimidazole carbamates fenbendazole and carbendazim, the 8-aminoquinolone derivative tafenoquine and MMV1578570...Compounds showing potent activity in vitro were further tested in vivo. Fenbendazole, MMV1782387, ravuconazole and olorofim were able to significantly prolong Galleria mellonella larvae survival and are promising candidates to explore in mycetoma treatment and to also serve as scaffolds for medicinal chemistry optimisation in the search for novel antifungals to treat eumycetoma.
