Synergistic action of lactoferrin and its derived functional fragments as a promising therapeutic agent in combating mucormycosis.
Aim: Currently, we have limited armamentarium of antifungal agents against Mucorales. There is an urgent need to discover novel antifungal agents that are effective, safe and affordable. Materials & methods: In this study, the anti-Mucorale action of native lactoferrin (LF) and its functional fragments CLF, RR6 and LFcin against three common Mucorale species are reported. The synergistic action of LF with antifungal agents like amphotericin B, isavuconazole and posaconazole was analyzed using checkerboard technique. Results: All the three mucor species showed inhibition when treated with fragments. The checkerboard assay confirmed that native LF showed the best synergistic action against Mucorales in combination with Amphotericin B. Conclusion: These results highlight the potential therapeutic value of native LF against Mucorales.
