NP213 (500-1000 μg/mL; 18 hours) increases the number of PI-stained T. rubrum NCPF0118 cells in samples. This results suggests that NP213 is fungicidal and the mechanisms of action involved membrane permeabilization.
NP213 is against T. rubrum NCPF0118, shows different MIC values against T. rubrum NCPF0118, and the MICs varies depending on the source of the keratin. The MIC values are 16-32 mg/L, 125 mg/L, and 250 mg/L for NP213 in 1640 media containing human nail Keratin, human skin Keratin and Lamb’s wool Keratin, respectively.NP213 TFA (2-3 hours; 0-8 μg/ml) has great activity against clinically relevant yeast, including candida spp, Cryptococcus spp and Trichosporon spp. For all 122 yeast isolates, with the median MIC100 values of 1-2 µg/ml.
