Abstract
Aim: The design, synthesis, docking studies and evaluation of the in vitro antifungal and cytotoxic properties of eugenol (EUG) containing 1,2,3-triazole derivatives are reported. Most of the derivatives have not been reported.Materials & methods: The EUG derivatives were synthesized, molecular docked and tested for their antifungal activity.Results: The compounds showed potent antifungal activity against Trichophyton rubrum, associated with dermatophytosis. Compounds 2a and 2i exhibited promising results, with 2a being four-times more potent than EUG. The binding mode prediction was similar to itraconazole in the lanosterol-14-α-demethylase wild-type and G73E mutant binding sites. Additionally, the pharmacokinetic profile prediction suggests good gastrointestinal absorption and potential oral administration.Conclusion: Compound 2a is a promising antifungal agent against dermatophytosis caused by T. rubrum.
