The antifungal activity of voriconazole (VCZ) was tested againstCandida albicans in the absence or presence of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) or monocytes. In some experiments, VCZ was compared to fluconazole (FCZ). On a weight basis, VCZ was 10-fold more efficacious than FCZ againstC. albicans Sh27. Against an FCZ-resistant isolate, VCZ at 1 μg/ml produced the same fungistasis as FCZ at 20 μg/ml. VCZ at 0.1 μg/ml collaborated with PMN for enhanced killing to the same extent as FCZ at 1.0 μg/ml. Granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) enhanced the candidacidal activity of PMN, and it increased the collaboration of PMN with VCZ for killing. Granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF also significantly enhanced both the killing by PMN and the collaboration of PMN with VCZ for killing. VCZ collaborated with monocytes for enhanced killing ofC. albicans Sh27, and GM-CSF increased this collaboration. Taken together, these data show that VCZ is more potent than FCZ againstC. albicans isolates, alone and in collaboration with PMN or monocytes for enhanced killing. In addition, G-CSF- or GM-CSF-activated PMN and monocytes have enhanced collaboration with VCZ compared to that of unstimulated phagocytes with VCZ.
