The study evaluated the effect of capric acid produced by probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii on the activities of fluconazole and amphotericin B against pathogenic Candida albicans fungus. The results showed that capric acid may be a promising additive in combination with fluconazole, reducing efflux activity of multidrug resistance transporter Cdr1p. However, capric acid alone stimulated ergosterol production in C. albicans, leading to cross resistance towards amphotericin B. It is concluded that amphotericin B should not be administered with dietary supplements containing capric acid or S. boulardii cells.
The effect of capric acid, secreted by the probiotic yeasts Saccharomyces boulardii, was evaluated on the activities of fluconazole (FLC) and amphotericin B (AMB) against pathogenic Candida albicans fungus. The findings indicated that capric acid may be a promising additive for use in combination with FLC. A FLC-capric acid combination led to reduced efflux activity of multidrug resistance (MDR) transporter Cdr1p by causing it to relocalize from the plasma membrane (PM) to the interior of the cell. The above effect occurred due to inhibitory effect of FLC-capric acid combination of ergosterol biosynthesis. However, capric acid alone stimulated ergosterol production in C. albicans, which in turn generated cross resistance towards AMB and inhibited its action (PM permeabilization and cytoplasm leakage) against C. albicans cells. This concluded that AMB should not be administered among dietary supplements containing capric acid or S. boulardii cells.
