Eradication of Candida albicans Biofilm Viability: In Vitro Combination Therapy of Cationic Carbosilane Dendrons Derived from 4-Phenylbutyric Acid with AgNO3 and EDTA

Candida albicans is a human pathogen of significant clinical relevance. This pathogen is resistant to different drugs, and most clinical antifungals are not effective against the prevention and treatment of C. albicans infections. As with other microorganisms, it can produce biofilms that serve as a...

This pathogen is resistant to different drugs, and most clinical antifungals are not effective against the prevention and treatment of C. albicans infections. As with other microorganisms, it can produce biofilms that serve as a barrier against antifungal agents and other substances, contributing to infection in humans and environmental tolerance of this microorganism. Thus, resistances and biofilm formation make treatment difficult. In addition, the complete eradication of biofilms in implants, catheters and other medical devices, is challenging and necessary to prevent relapses of candidemia. Therefore, it is a priority to find new molecules or combinations of compounds with anti-Candida biofilm activity. Due to the difficulty of treating and removing biofilms, the aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro ability of different generation of cationic carbosilane dendrons derived from 4-phenylbutyric acid, ArCO(2)G(n)(SNMe3I)(m), to eradicate C. albicans biofilms. Here, we assessed the antifungal activity of the second generation dendron ArCO2G(2)(SNMe3I)(4) against C. albicans cells and established biofilms since it managed to seriously damage the membrane. In addition, the combinations of the second generation dendron with AgNO3 or EDTA eradicated the viability of biofilm cells. Alterations were observed by scanning electron microscopy and cytotoxicity was assessed on HeLa cells. Our data suggest that the dendritic compound ArCO(2)G(2)(SNMe3I)(4) could represent an alternative to control the infections caused by this pathogen.Ministerio de Economía, Industria y CompetitividadComunidad de MadridUniversidad de Alcalá20212021-07-18journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10017/59767https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ jof7070574reponame:e_Buah Biblioteca Digital Universidad de Alcaláinstname:Universidad de Alcalá (UAH)InglésengMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100003329 Not available CTQ2017-86224-PComunidad de Madrid http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100012818 Not available B2017%2FBMD-3703UAH Not available CCG19%2FCCS-022UAH Not available CCG20CCS-013open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ebuah.uah.es:10017/597672026-06-18T11:13:07Z

description Candida albicans is a human pathogen of significant clinical relevance. This pathogen is resistant to different drugs, and most clinical antifungals are not effective against the prevention and treatment of C. albicans infections. As with other microorganisms, it can produce biofilms that serve as a barrier against antifungal agents and other substances, contributing to infection in humans and environmental tolerance of this microorganism. Thus, resistances and biofilm formation make treatment difficult. In addition, the complete eradication of biofilms in implants, catheters and other medical devices, is challenging and necessary to prevent relapses of candidemia. Therefore, it is a priority to find new molecules or combinations of compounds with anti-Candida biofilm activity. Due to the difficulty of treating and removing biofilms, the aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro ability of different generation of cationic carbosilane dendrons derived from 4-phenylbutyric acid, ArCO(2)G(n)(SNMe3I)(m), to eradicate C. albicans biofilms.
