Aggregation of α-synuclein (α-Syn) play a key role in the development of Parkinson Disease (PD). One of the effective approaches is to stabilize the native, monomeric protein with suitable molecule ligands. We have designed and synthesized a series of sheet-like conjugated compounds which possess different skeletons and various heteroatoms in the two blocks located at both ends of linker, which have good π-electron delocalization and high ability of hydrogen-bond formation. They have shown anti-aggregation activities in vitro towards α-Syn with IC50 down to 1.09 μM. The molecule is found binding in parallel to the NACore within NAC domain of α-Syn, interfering aggregation of NAC region within different α-Syn monomer, and further inhibiting or slowing down the formation of α-Syn oligomer nuclei at lag phase. The potential inhibitor obtained by our strategy is considered to be highly efficient to inhibit α-Syn aggregation.

Based on the results of computational docking to the active site of the cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase (CYP51), a series of 1-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-substituted-2-propanols as analogs of fluconazole were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antifungal agents. The MIC80 values indicate that compounds 1a-n exhibited higher activity against nearly all fungi tested except Aspergillus fumigatus than fluconazole, while compounds 2a-f, 3a-f showed no activity or only moderate activity against all fungi tested. Noticeably, the MIC value of compounds 1a, 1b and 1g is 64 times lower than that of fluconazole against Microsporum gypseum in vitro. And compounds 1a, 1b and 2b showed 128 times higher activity (with the MIC80 value of 0.0039 μg/mL) than that of fluconazole against Candida albicans and also showed higher activity than that of the other positive controls. Computational docking experiments indicated that the inhibition of CYP51 involves a coordination bond with iron of the heme group, the hydrophilic H-bonding region, the hydrophobic region, and the narrow hydrophobic cleft. In addition, the activity of the compounds would be enhanced when the side chains were shorter.
