T-2307, a novel arylamidine, shows broad-spectrum activity against pathogenic fungi, including Candida albicans. Ocular candidiasis is one of the serious complications associated with Candida bloodstream infection and is known to be refractory to conventional antifungal agents. The aim of the present study was to clarify the effectiveness of T-2307 against ocular candidiasis using a mouse model.
