New orally active non-terpenoic inhibitors of human 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase (hOSC) are reported. The starting point for the optimization process was a set of compounds derived from a fungicide project, which in addition to showing high affinity for OSC from Candida albicans showed also high affinity for human OSC. Common structural elements of these inhibitors are an amine residue and an electrophilic carbonyl C atom embedded in a benzophenone system, which are at a distance of about 10.7 ?. Considering that the keto moiety is in a potentially labile position, modifications of the substitution pattern at the benzophenone as well as annelated heteroaryl systems were explored. Our approach combined testing of the compounds first for increased binding affinity and for increased stability in vitro. Most promising compounds were then evaluated for their efficacy in lowering plasma total cholesterol (TC) and plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in hyperlipidemic hamsters. In this respect, the most promising compounds are the benzophenone derivative 1·fumarate and the benzo[d]-isothiazol 24·fumarate, which lowered TC by 40% and 33%, respectively.

The compound of the formula STR1 wherein each of R1 and R2 individually is hydrogen, lower alkyl or lower alkenyl or together signify straight-chain alkylene with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, R3 is hydrogen, halogen or lower alkyl, Q is alkylene with 4 to 11 carbon atoms and at least 4 carbon atoms between the two free valencies or alkenylene with 4 to 11 carbon atoms and at least 4 carbon atoms between the two free valencies and each of Y and Y' individually is a direct bond or the group --CH2 --, --CH2 CH2 --, --CH=CH-- or --C C--, the group R1 R2 N--Q--O-- is attached to the 3- or 4 -position of ring A and the symbol R designates that the ring to which it is attached is unsubstituted or is substituted with at least one substitutent selected from the group consisting of halogen, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, lower alkyl and lower alkoxy, and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be used for the control or prevention of fungal infections, especially of topical or systemic infections which are caused by pathogenic fungi, and for the manufacture of antifungally-active medicaments. The compounds of formula I have not only a pronounced antifungal activity, but they also exhibit synergistic effects in combination with other known antifungally-active substances which inhibit sterol biosynthesis such as ketoconazole and terbinafine.
