ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to compositions comprising an adenosine derivative and a deaminase inhibitor for the prevention and treatment of fungal and fungal-like infections. Infections which are treatable and preventable with these compositions are responsible for fungal diseases such as candidiasis, cryptococcosis, blastomycosis, aspergillosis, paracoccidiodomycosis and coccidioidomycosis, and the fungal-like diseases nocardiosis and actinomycosis. The invention also relates to methods for utilizing these compositions in treatment regiments. Treatments may be either in vivo or in vitro. In vivo treatments involve administration of compositions of the invention to mammals suspected or at risk of being infected with a fungal or fungal-like organism. In vitro treatments involve incubation of cells, tissues, food products, biological products derived from living materials or foods with compositions of the invention.
