Description
Invasive fungal infections are rising, especially in people with weak immune systems, and the drug shelf is thin. Gustavo Niño-Vega, Leonardo Padró-Villegas, and Everardo López-Romero survey the hunt for new antifungals in 2024. The four classic drug classes face limits in reach and safety, and resistant species are spreading.
New candidates attack fungal cells in fresh ways, and the review weighs them alongside nanoparticles, repurposed drugs, and natural products. Artificial intelligence earns a closing look as a tool for designing drugs, speeding diagnosis, and predicting resistance. The authors stress that patients with few options cannot wait, and that discovery work needs to quicken if outcomes for high-risk groups are to improve.
