Abstract
In order to develop novel antifungal agents, based on our previous work, a series of (2R,3R)-3-((3-substitutied-isoxazol-5-yl)methoxy)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) butan-2-ol (a1-a26) were designed and synthesized. All of the compounds exhibited good in vitro antifungal activities against eight human pathogenic fungi. Among them, compound a6 showed excellent inhibitory activity against Candida albicans and Candida parasilosis with MIC80 values of 0.0313 μg/mL. In addition, compounds a6, a9, a12, a13 and a14 exhibited moderate inhibitory activities against fluconazole-resistant isolates with MIC80 values ranging from 8 μg/mL to 16 μg/mL. Furthermore, compounds a6, a12 and a23 exhibited low inhibition profiles for CYP3A4. Clear SARs were analyzed, and the molecular docking experiment was carried out to further investigate the relationship between a6 and the target enzyme CYP51.
