Secreted aspartic protease 2 (SAP2), a kind of virulence factor, is an emerging new antifungal target. Using docking-based virtual screening and structure-based inhibitor design, a series of novel SAP2 inhibitors were successfully identified. Among them, indolone derivative 24a showed potent SAP2 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.92 μM). It blocked fungi biofilm and hypha formation by down-regulating the expression of genes SAP2, ECE1, ALS3 and EFG1. As a virulence factor inhibitor, compound 24a was inactive in vitro and showed potent in vivo efficacy in a murine model of invasive candidiasis. It represents a promising lead compound for the discovery of novel antifungal agents.
