Abstract

This abstract provides a concise summary of the comprehensive overview of antifungal agents, encompassing their classification, mechanisms of action, common fungal infections, and emerging trends in research. Fungal infections pose a global health challenge, necessitating effective antifungal interventions. This comprehensive overview explores the diverse classes of antifungal agents, including azoles, polyenes, echinocandins, and allylamines, elucidating their distinct mechanisms of action. Common fungal infections, such as candidiasis, aspergillosis, and dermatophytosis, are addressed in the context of specific antifungal treatments. The abstract further highlights emerging trends in antifungal research, emphasizing the exploration of combination therapies, novel drug targets, and the potential of antifungal peptides. This synthesis of current knowledge underscores the importance of understanding antifungal agents for healthcare professionals and researchers, offering insights into ongoing developments that may shape future advancements in the field.
