Accelerate Invasive Fungal Infection & Antifungal Solution & CRO Service

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) represent a growing global health crisis, posing a severe threat, particularly to immunocompromised individuals. Despite their increasing incidence and associated high mortality rates, the development of novel antifungal agents has lagged significantly compared to antibacterial research. The emergence of drug-resistant fungal strains further exacerbates this challenge, creating an urgent need for accelerated research and innovative solutions. At Creative Biolabs, we are at the forefront of this critical fight, offering comprehensive Contract Research Organization (CRO) services designed to propel your antifungal drug development programs from concept to clinic.

The Unmet Need: Understanding Invasive Fungal Infections

IFIs, caused by opportunistic fungi like Candida, Aspergillus, and Cryptococcus, can lead to life-threatening conditions such as candidemia, aspergillosis, and cryptococcal meningitis. Patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, and those with HIV/AIDS are particularly vulnerable. The current arsenal of antifungal drugs, primarily comprising azoles, polyenes, and echinocandins, often faces limitations due to toxicity, narrow spectrum of activity, and the pervasive issue of antifungal resistance. This underscores the critical demand for new therapeutic strategies with novel mechanisms of action, improved efficacy, and reduced side effects.

Our Detailed Expertise Services in Preclinical Antifungal Research

• In Vitro Antifungal Susceptibility Testing: Comprehensive assays to determine MIC/MEC values against a broad range of clinically relevant fungal strains, including resistant isolates.
• Mechanism of Action Studies: Elucidating the precise pathways targeted by novel compounds using biochemical, molecular biology, and cell imaging techniques.
• In Vitro/ In Vivo Efficacy Models: Establishment and execution of robust infection models (e.g., murine models of disseminated candidiasis, aspergillosis) to assess drug efficacy and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD).
• Toxicity and Safety Assessment: Early-stage evaluation of compound toxicity in relevant preclinical models to inform lead optimization.
