1,2-dithiins having antifungal activity

Novel 1,2-dithiin compounds useful as antifungal or anti-infective agents, as well as methods for their use as such, are described. The 1,2-dithiin compounds are particularly effective in treating infections, especially those caused by Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, Trichophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton species, Microsporum species, Sporothrix species, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidiodes immiitis, Histoplasma capsulatum, Herpes virus, Influenza virus, Cytomegalovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, retrovirus, Adenovirus, Papillomavirus, Paravirus, Arenavirus, Bunyavirus, Coronavirus, Paramyxovirus, Picornavirus, Rhabdovirus, Togavirus, Hepadnavirus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermis, Zanthomonus maltrophilia, Acinetobacter, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marscens, Listeria, Monocytogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes; Streptococcus pneumonia, Viridans streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae, Proteus mirabills, Proteus vulgaris and Bacterioides fragilis.

Nivel 1,2-Dithiins: Synthesis, Molecular Modeling Studies, and Antifungal Activity

The first structure-activity study involving the 1,2-dithiin class of compounds (1,2-dithiacyclohexadienes) is herein reported.A series of 3,6-disubstituted 1,2-dithiins was synthesized from dithiins 1d and 1e and evaluated as antifungal agents.A new and versatile synthesis of dithiins 1d and 1e is reported which is amenable to scale-up at the kilogram level.The novelty of the process derives from the use of β-mercaptopropionitrile as the thiophile, relying on a β-elimination strategy and subsequent oxidation to create the 1,2-dithiin ring.Optimal geometries of dithiins 1d, 18i, and 45 and model dithiin 61 were determined by molecular mechanics and Hartree-Fock molecular orbital calculations.Two possible mechanisms of action are presented for the 1,2-dithiin class of compounds to explain their observed antifungal activities against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus.
