AGENT CHD-FA (CarboHydrate Derived - Fulvic Acid) IN FLUCONAZOLE RESISTANT CANDIDA ISOLATES Fulhold Ltd.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CHD-FA ALSO KNOWN AS FULVIC ACID Euprotec received 1 bottle of CHD-FA (henceforth called CHD-FA) reconstituted to a 4% solution. The solution has been stored at room temperature in the dark since delivery. The 4% CHD-FA solution is a yellow/brown slightly viscous solution with a strong METHODS - Preliminary Experiment
Susceptibility tests were performed on 5 isolates of Candida albicans all clinical isolates (all with reduced susceptibility to fluconazole). [Each culture was grown on Sabouraud agar at 37°C for 48 h to ensure purity.] RPMI-1640 (Sigma, Dorset, UK) supplemented to 2% glucose (Sigma), buffered with morpholinopropanesulfonic acid (MOPS), (Sigma) and adjusted to pH 7.0 was used as recommended in the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (E.Dis. 7.1) (Rodriguez-Tudela, J.

Euprotec Fulhold Report In vitro efficacy of CHD-FA against Candida July 2008 All yeasts were cultured in ambient air at 35–37 °C on recovery medium (Sabouraud dextrose agar) for 18–24 h before testing. The inoculum was prepared by picking five distinct colonies from 18 to 24 h cultures and suspending them in 5 mL of sterile distilled water. The inoculum was completely suspended by vigorous shaking on a vortex mixer for 15s. The cell density was adjusted to the density of a 0.5 McFarland standard by adding sterile distilled water and measuring absorbance in a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 530 nm. This gave a yeast suspension of 1–5 × 106cfu/mL. A working suspension was prepared by a further dilution of 1 in 10 further in 4 X RPMI to give 1–5 × 105cfu/mL (The RPMI medium used in the plates was prepared at 4 x the final strength to allow for a 75% dilution once the inoculum and diluted CHD-FA was added). Sterile plastic, disposable, microtitration plates with 96 flat-bottom wells were used. Column 1 of the microtitration tray was filled with 100µL of sterile water containing four times the final drug concentration (512 mg/L fluconazole). Columns 2–12 were filled with 50µL of distilled water 50µL amounts were taken from wells in column 1 and diluted two-fold by transferring them to column 2 with a multichannel pipette (± 2% coefficient of variation). 50 µL samples were then removed from column 2 and transferred to EUPROTEC Ltd.

Euprotec Fulhold Report In vitro efficacy of CHD-FA against Candida July 2008 2.2.1 RESULTS – Preliminary Experiment
Initial tests demonstrated that CHD-FA at 4%, 2% and 1% inhibited the growth of Candida albicans for at least 24 hours when combined with 1 X RPMI 1640 culture medium, growth in 0.5% CHD-FA occurs at similar levels to solvent controls. The inhibition of growth (4%, 2% and 1%) was possibly due to the strongly acidic pH. At the native pH of CHD-FA (pH 2.1) no synergy or antagonism with fluconazole could be The pH of CHD-FA was adjusted to pH7.0 using 10M NaOH solution (the ideal pH for fluconazole activity). This resulted in a brown slightly viscous solution with a strong characteristic odour. Susceptibility assays were repeated as above: As previously noted with native CHD-FA, 4%, 2% and 1% solutions inhibited the growth of Candida albicans for at least 24 hours when combined with 1 X RPMI 1640 culture medium, growth in 0.5% CHD-FA occurs at similar levels to solvent controls. No synergy or antagonism with fluconazole could be detected. The MICs of the C. albicans strains with and without CHD-FA are listed in Table 1 (the Table 1: Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Fluconazole (mg/L) combined with EUPROTEC Ltd.

Susceptibility tests were performed on 40 isolates of Candida all clinical isolates (38 with reduced susceptibility to fluconazole). The group comprised 25 C. albicans, 11 C. glabrata (all with reduced susceptibility to fluconazole), and 4 C. tropicalis (all with reduced susceptibility to fluconazole).
