Aspects described herein provide methods and composition for inhibiting fungal infections in a host. As described herein, AR-12 can be administered to fungus or fungal cells to inhibit or reduce the growth of fungus. In another aspect, AR-12 can be administered to a mammal infected with a fungus to inhibit or reduce the growth of the fungus or to treat a condition caused by the fungus. The route of administration for AR-12 can be any suitable route used for current antifungal treatments (e.g., topical, oral, ophthalmic, intravenous, intranasal, inhalation, transdermal).
