Title Antifungal activity of fumaric acid in mice infected with Candida albicans.
Journal Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo)
Abstract An examination was made on the effect of fumaric acid on an experimental systemic candidiasis. Male ICR mice were innoculated into the tail veins with 10(6) yeast cells of Candida albicans and treated with daily intraperitoneal injections of fumaric acid at the dose of 40 mg/kg/d. The results indicated that the administration of fumaric acid was effective in prolonging the survival of animals after the fungal challenge and prevented one-fifth of the treated animals from dying of candidiasis.
