 In recent years, researchers have discovered a new target for treating fumble infections called n-meristyle transferase, NMT. This enzyme is responsible for the production of meristate, which is a fatty acid found in many organisms. By designing and synthesizing a series of meristic acid derivatives, researchers have developed a promising class of antifungals that can be used to treat fumble infections. These compounds were tested against two common fungi, candida albicans and aspergillus niger, and demonstrated strong antifungal activity.
