Abstract
Palmarumycin P3 (PP3) reduces fluconazole-induced MDR1 transcription to reverse azole resistance in clinical Candida strains. Here, we demonstrated that PP3 restores the susceptibility to several antifungal drugs for Candida albicans strains with gain-of-function mutations in the transcription factor Mrr1. In addition, PP3 inhibits the efflux of Mdr1 substrates by C. albicans strains harboring hyperactive MRR1 alleles. Molecular docking revealed that PP3 is a potential Mdr1 blocker that binds to the substrate binding pocket of Mdr1.Entities:
