摘要: This study shows that 5-hydroxytrypatmine (5-HT, serotonin) is fungicidal towards conidia and hyphae of clinical isolates Aspergillus (A.) fumigatus, A. flavus terreus. The minimal concentrations for ranged between 14.68 to 117.5 mM 29.37 235 during 24 48 h incubation. Several serotonin receptor antagonists (5-HT2, 5-HT3) studied in vitro did not influence antifungal activity.
