Ergosterol exert the important function in maintaining the fluidity and osmotic pressure of fungal cells, and its key biosynthesis enzymes (Squalene epoxidase, SE; 14 α-demethylase, CYP51) displayed the obvious synergistic effects. Therefore, we expected to discover the novel antifungal compounds with dual-target (SE/CYP51) inhibitory activity. In the progress, we screened the different kinds of potent fragments based on the dual-target (CYP51, SE) features, and the method of fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) was used to guide the construction of three different series of benzodioxane compounds. Subsequently, their chemical structures were synthesized and evaluated. These compounds displayed the obvious biological activity against the pathogenic fungal strains. Notably, target compounds 10a-2 and 22a-2 possessed the excellent broad-spectrum anti-fungal activity (MIC50, 0.125–2.0 μg/mL) and the activity against drug-resistant strains (MIC50, 0.5–2.0 μg/mL). Preliminary mechanism studies have confirmed that these compounds effectively inhibited the dual-target (SE/CYP51) activity, they could cause fungal rupture and death by blocking the bio-synthetic pathway of ergosterol. Further experiments discovered that compounds 10a-2 and 22a-2 also maintained a certain of anti-fungal effect in vivo. In summary, this study not only provided the new dual-target drug design strategy and method, but also discover the potential antifungal compounds.

Complexes of the type mer,trans-[Fe(P-N-P)(CO)2Br]BF4 are known to be precatalysts for the asymmetric direct hydrogenation of ketones and imines. Employing related ligand scaffolds, we successfully generated and tested the series of three new precatalysts [Fe(PCy2CH2CH-NCH(R)CH2PPh2)(CO)2Br]BF4 with chirality derived from (S)-amino alcohols with phenyl, benzyl, and isopropyl substituents (R), yielding fairly active and selective systems. For the reduction of acetophenone to (S)-1-phenylethanol turnover frequencies up to 920 h-1 and up to 74% enantiomeric excess at 50 °C and 5-25 atm of H2 were obtained. We found, however, that placing these large groups R next to nitrogen was found to be deleterious to catalytic activity. Extending the scope of the ligand structure, we then developed a series of six P-N-P and five P-NH-P systems starting with o-diphenylphosphinobenzaldehyde and the phosphine-amines PPh2CHR1CHR2NH2 (R1 = H, Ph, CH2Ph, iPr with R2 = H or R1 = Me, Ph with R2 = Ph) as well as their corresponding [Fe(P-N-P)(NCMe)3][BF4]2 and [Fe(P-NH-P)(NCMe)3][BF4]2 complexes, which were not catalytically active. Finally, we made the new achiral iron complex mer,cis-Fe(PPh2(o-C6H4)CHNCH2CH2PPh2)(CO)Br2, which was active for the direct hydrogenation of acetophenone, achieving turnover frequencies of 800 h-1 at 50°C and 25 atm of H2.
