Durrant2* Abstract Given that many antifungal medications are susceptible to evolved resistance, there is a need for novel drugs with unique mechanisms of action. Inhibiting the essential proton pump Pma1p, a P-type ATPase, is a potentially efective therapeutic approach that is orthogonal to existing treatments. We identify NSC11668 and hitachimycin as structur‑ ally distinct antifungals that inhibit yeast ScPma1p. These compounds provide new opportunities for drug discovery aimed at this important target.
