Russian scientists have created a drug with a high antifungal effect, which manages to win pathogens. The medicine destroys fungi even in small quantities, writing “Izvestia”.
For a new Russian drug, specialists from the institute for the survey of new antibiotics them. P. Gause and Institute of Chemistry of Solutions. G.A. Cross RAS connected two molecules that separately do not possess significant antifungal properties. However, their combination generates a substance that has a higher efficiency in the fight against the disease than famous commercial medicines.
Leading Researcher at the Institute for the Research of New Antibiotics. P. Gause (Nina), Professor Igor Levshin stressed that mushrooms live in the human body from the moment of his birth to death. Immunity of a healthy person successfully suppresses them, not allowing to grow. However, it is difficult to create an effective and non-toxic medicine that will only be aimed at combating fungi.
Researchers also note that the Russian medicine is a timely solution to current issues. Recently, pathogenic mushrooms mutate, acquired resistance to already known drugs. At the same time, patients with weakened immunity fall into the risk zone. “In the event of a disease in an infection of a large number of people, as happened in India with a” black fungus “, a catastrophe may be happening,” – concluded Levshin.
Earlier in India recorded an outbreak of muffomicosis or “black mold”. The disease is stronger than the rest threatens people infected with COVID-19, and those who have already suffered it. Most of the victims of the mucormicosis doctors were forced to remove one or both eyes.
