TNP Analogues Inhibit the Virulence Promoting IP<sub>3-4</sub> Kinase Arg1 in the Fungal Pathogen <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>
New antifungals with unique modes of action are urgently needed to treat the increasing global burden of invasive fungal infections. The fungal inositol polyphosphate kinase (IPK) pathway, comprised of IPKs that convert IP<sub>3</sub> to IP<sub>8</sub>, provides a promising n...
