Exploring Long Arm Amide-Linked Side Chains in the Design of Antifungal Azole Inhibitors of Sterol 14α-Demethylase (CYP51).
The rise in fungal drug resistance has exacerbated the treatment of invasive fungal infections, most commonly caused by Candida. This research describes the synthesis of extended "long-arm" azole antifungals that were evaluated against wild-type and resistant fungal species. Biphenyl derivative 22 was the most effective derivative, displaying potent inhibitory activity against Saccharomyces, Candida, and Cryptococcus CYP51 enzymes, including in resistant strains, in comparison with posaconazole. The X-ray crystal structure of S-22 complexed with S. cerevisiae CYP51 showed a hydrogen bond between the oxygen of the trifluoromethoxy group of S-22 and the His381 side chain of S. cerevisiae CYP51, which is postulated to contribute significantly to its binding, and stabilization in the presence of the S. cerevisiae CYP51 Y140F/H, C. parapsilosis and C. auris CYP51 Y132F mutations and the C. auris K143R mutation. Computational studies and IC50 evaluation of compound 22 vs C. albicans wild-type, Y132F, and Y132H/K143 mutant strains supported MIC observations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the multifaceted field of medicinal chemistry. Since its inception in 1959 as the Journal of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, it has evolved to become a cornerstone in the dissemination of research findings related to the design, synthesis, and development of therapeutic agents.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is recognized for its significant impact in the scientific community, as evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 7.3. This metric reflects the journal's influence and the importance of its content in shaping the future of drug discovery and development. The journal serves as a vital resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms of drug action and the optimization of therapeutic compounds.
