Chemometric Methods—A Valuable Tool for Investigating the Interactions Between Antifungal Drugs (Including Antifungal Antibiotics) and Food

The PLS method is valuable for investigating interactions between antifungal drugs (including antifungal antibiotics) and food. The correlations obtained can be used in drug modeling to predict interactions with dietary interventions based on the antifungal drug's chemical structure. Incorporating chemometric techniques into the early drug development stages could facilitate the design of antifungal antibiotics and other antifungal agents with optimized absorption in the presence of dietary components.
