Article Title: New Triazole NT-a9 Has Potent Antifungal Efficacy against Cryptococcus neoformans In Vitro and In Vivo
doi: 10.1128/AAC.01628-19
Figure Lengend Snippet: Survival curves for mice with disseminated cryptococcosis treated with antifungal agents. Mice were inoculated intravenously with C. neoformans H99 at 1.8 × 106 CFU per animal and then treated with NT-a9, isavuconazole (ISA), fluconazole (FLC), or amphotericin B (AMB) (n = 10 mice per group). The differences in in vivo effects between high doses (A) and low doses (B) of NT-a9 were investigated. Antifungal monotherapy was initiated 2 h after inoculation and continued for 7 days. Mice were monitored without therapy until day 20. Amphotericin B was administered intraperitoneally, while other antifungal treatments were performed through oral gavage. ***, P < 0.001 versus the results for the control. One representative result out of two independent experiments is shown.
