Their primary mode of action involves binding to ergosterol, a key sterol component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the formation of pores that disrupt membrane integrity and cause leakage of intracellular ions such as Na + , K + , H + , and Cl - , ultimately inhibiting fungal growth (Gray et al., 2012

Moreover, reliable analytical protocols for quality control and long-term stability remain underdeveloped, delaying entry of promising nanotherapeutics into clinical trials

Studies have used MT-II in direct comparison with MT-1 to characterise how cyclisation of the -MSH pharmacophore core changes receptor subtype selectivity , establishing that constraining the heptapeptide into a cyclic conformation shifts selectivity toward MC3R/MC4R relative to the linear tridecapeptide that preferentially activates MC1R
However, under crowded cellular conditions, considering the reactive nature of PD-specific variants, the likelihood of Syn engaging in homotypic interaction will be minimal
