The Effects of Tormentic Acid and Extracts from Callistemon citrinus on Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis Growth and Inhibition of Ergosterol Biosynthesis in Candida albicans

Figure 12

The ergosterol biosynthetic pathway. The pathway has been divided into three subpathways, the mevalonate pathway, the late pathway, and the alternative pathway, which can occur in the event of inactivation of lanosterol metabolizing enzymes. Shown in red are some common types of antifungal drugs at their site of action within this pathway adopted from [41].
