Provided herein are ionic liquids that can be used as antifungal agents alone or in combination with Amphotericin B. Also disclosed are methods of synthesis of the ionic liquids and inhibiting fungal growth and methods of treating fungal infections using the disclosed compounds. The disclosure provides antifungal agents that potentiate the antifungal activity of Amphotericin B, a commonly used antifungal drug that could be used alone or in combination. This combination will help control and combat the infections caused by drug resistantin immunocompromised patients.
