It’s a big deal. Fungi use ergosterol for what we (animals) use cholesterol for. Almost all antifungals block the synthesis of ergosterol much like the way statin drugs block the synthesis of cholesterol. We need some new drugs.

When did Keanu > Chuck or were these newly discovered chemicals also found to be susceptible to Norris?
