Evaluation of the Antifungal Properties of Azomethine-Pyrazole Derivatives from a Structural Perspective.
About 95 % of candidiasis infections worldwide are attributed to five Candida fungi species, with C. albicans being the most prevalent and severe. Due to resistance phenomena, the last decade has seen a significant challenge for candidiasis treatment with antifungal drugs, which has led to an urgent need for new antifungal agents. In this article, we report the synthesis of a series of azomethine-pyrazole derivatives bearing a para-substituted azo-phenyl ring. These compounds were evaluated as antifungal agents against Candida species and Cryptococcus neoformans strains. Compound ClAzoNH, substituted by chloride, displayed the highest toxicity on Candida albicans, with an MIC50 value of 2.08 μg/mL, while methoxy-substituted MeOAzoNH showed moderate inhibitory activity. The unsubstituted AzoNH compound exhibited the highest activity towards Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida krusei strains. In the case of C. albicans, the CaCYP51 protein appears to be the most probable biological target, while for C. neoformans, interactions with the CnFTase protein explained the in vitro results.
期刊介绍:
ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.
