Versatile photoresponsive gels based on tripodal low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) are reported. A cyclohexane-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (CTA) core provides face-to-face hydrogen bonding and a planar conformation, inducing the self-assembly of supramolecular polymers. The CTA core was substituted with three arylazopyrazole (AAP) arms. AAP is a molecular photoswitch that isomerizes reversibly under alternating UV and green light irradiation. The E isomer of AAP is planar, favoring the self-assembly, whereas the Z isomer has a twisted structure, leading to a disassembly of the supramolecular polymers. By using tailor-made molecular design of the tripodal gelator, light-responsive organogels and hydrogels were obtained. Additionally, in the case of the hydrogels, AAP was coupled to the core through hydrazones, so that the hydrogelator and, hence, the photoresponsive hydrogel could also be assembled and disassembled by using dynamic covalent chemistry.

Class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolases (FBA-II) are attractive new targets for the discovery of drugs to combat invasive fungal infection, because they are absent in animals and higher plants. Although several FBA-II inhibitors have been reported, none of these inhibitors exhibit antifungal effect so far. In this study, several novel inhibitors of FBA-II from C. albicans (Ca-FBA-II) with potent antifungal effects were rationally designed by jointly using a specific protocols of molecular docking-based virtual screening, accurate binding-conformation evaluation strategy, synthesis and enzymatic assays. The enzymatic assays reveal that the compounds 3c, 3e-g, 3j and 3k exhibit high inhibitory activity against Ca-FBA-II (IC50 50 value of 2.7 μM. Importantly, the compounds 3f, 3g, and 3l possess not only high inhibitions against Ca-FBA-II, but also moderate antifungal activities against C. glabrata (MIC80 = 4-64 μg/mL). The compounds 3g, 3l, and 3k in combination with fluconazole (8 μg/mL) displayed significantly synergistic antifungal activities (MIC80 0.0625 μg/mL) against resistant Candida strains, which are resistant to azoles drugs. The probable binding modes between 3g and the active site of Ca-FBA-II have been proposed by using the DOX (docking, ONIOM, and XO) strategy. To our knowledge, no FBA-II inhibitors with antifungal activities against wild type and resistant strains from Candida were reported previously. The positive results suggest that the strategy adopted in this study are a promising method for the discovery of novel drugs against azole-resistant fungal pathogens in the future.

A series of N′-(p-toluene sulphonyl)-3-methyl-4-(substituted arylhydrazono)-2-pyrazoline-5-ones and N′-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-3,5-dimethyl- 4-(substituted arylazo)pyrazoles have been synthesized and characterized by chemical analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectral data. The compounds have been screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
