<p>The use of an enzyme found in fungi, bacteria, insects, and nematodes as a target in a screening assay is described by means of which agents capable of inhibiting the function of that enzyme may be identified. The screening assay may include complete cell or purified-enzyme assays. In particular, the present invention relates to a screening assay for inhibitors or suppressors of sugar alcohol phosphatases or sugar phosphatases as well as preparations, in particular, pharmaceutical preparations, which include the inhibitor or suppressor obtained from the screening assay. Inhibitors are described as well as applications in biocides and anitfungal pharmaceuticals.</p> |
