With the increase of fungal infection and drug resistance, it is becoming an urgent task to discover the highly effective antifungal drugs. In the study, we selected the key ergosterol bio-synthetic enzymes (Squalene epoxidase, SE; 14 α-demethylase, CYP51) as dual-target receptors to guide the construction of novel antifungal compounds, which could achieve the purpose of improving drug efficacy and reducing drug-resistance. Three different series of amide naphthyl compounds were generated through the method of skeleton growth, and their corresponding target products were synthesized. Most of compounds displayed the obvious biological activity against different Candida spp. and Aspergillus fumigatus. Among of them, target compounds 14a-2 and 20b-2 not only possessed the excellent broad-spectrum anti-fungal activity (MIC50, 0.125–2 μg/mL), but also maintained the anti-drug-resistant fungal activity (MIC50, 1–4 μg/mL). Preliminary mechanism study revealed the compounds (14a-2, 20b-2) could block the bio-synthetic pathway of ergosterol by inhibiting the dual-target (SE/CYP51) activity, and this finally caused the cleavage and death of fungal cells. In addition, we also discovered that compounds 14a-2 and 20b-2 with low toxic and side effects could exert the excellent therapeutic effect in mice model of fungal infection, which was worthy for further in-depth study.

We have developed an efficient photocatalytic synthesis of coumarin derivativesviaa tandem double bond isomerization/oxidative cyclization of cinnamic acids. Inexpensive and stable xanthone was used as the photocatalyst, and readily available Selectfluor was used as the oxidant. This method tolerates a wide range of functional groups and offers excellent chemical yields in general. Besides, the photocatalytic oxidative cyclization of cinnamic acid esters gives dimerized lignan-type products.

Ergosterol as the core component of fungal cell membrane plays a key role in maintaining cell morphology and permeability. The squalenee epoxidase (SE) and 14-demethylase (CYP51) are the important rate-limiting enzymes for ergosterol synthesis. In the study, these active fragments, which is derived from the structural groups of the common antifungal agents, were docked into the active sites of dual targets (SE, CYP51), respectively. Some of active fragments with the matching MCSS_Score values were selected and connected to construct three different series of novel arylalkene-amide derivatives as dual-target (SE, CYP51) antifungal inhibitors. Subsequently, these compounds were further synthesized, and their bioactivity was evaluated. Most of compounds showed a certain degree of antifungal activity in vitro. It was worth noting that the target compounds 17a and 25a with excellent antifungal activity (0.125–4 μg/mL) can inhibit the fluconazole-resistant Candida Strain 17#, CaR, 632, and 901 in the range of MIC values (4–8 μg/mL). Furthermore, their molecular mechanism, structural stability and low toxicity were further confirmed. The molecular docking and ADMET properties were predicted to guide the subsequent optimization of target compounds.

Tailored mutants of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from Petroselinum crispum (PcPAL) were created and tested in ammonia elimination from various sterically demanding, non-natural analogues of phenylalanine and in ammonia addition reactions into the corresponding (E)-arylacrylates. The wild-type PcPAL was inert or exhibited quite poor conversions in both reactions with all members of the substrate panel. Appropriate single mutations of residue F137 and the highly conserved residue I460 resulted in PcPAL variants that were active in ammonia elimination but still had a poor activity in ammonia addition onto bulky substrates. However, combined mutations that involve I460 besides the well-studied F137 led to mutants that exhibited activity in ammonia addition as well. The synergistic multiple mutations resulted in substantial substrate scope extension of PcPAL and opened up new biocatalytic routes for the synthesis of both enantiomers of valuable phenylalanine analogues, such as (4-methoxyphenyl)-, (napthalen-2-yl)-, ([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-, (4′-fluoro-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-, and (5-phenylthiophene-2-yl)alanines.

Matriptase-2, a type II transmembrane serine protease (TTSP), is expressed in the liver and regulates iron homeostasis via the cleavage of hemojuvelin. Matriptase-2 emerges as an attractive target for the treatment of conditions associated with iron overload, such as hemochromatosis or beta-thalassemia. Starting from the crystal structure of its closest homolog matriptase, we constructed a homology model of matriptase-2 in order to further optimize the selectivity of serine trap peptidomimetic inhibitors for matriptase-2 vs matriptase. Careful modifications of the P4, P3 and P2 positions with the help of unnatural amino acids led to a thorough understanding of Structure-Activity Relationship and a >60-fold increase in selectivity for matriptase-2 vs matriptase. Additionally, the introduction of unnatural amino acids led to significant increases in plasma stability. Such compounds represent useful pharmacological tools to test matriptase-2 inhibition in a context of iron overload.
