Pseudoaspidinol is a phloroglucinol derivative with Antifungal activity and is a major active component of Dryopteris fragrans. In our previous work, we studied the total synthesis of pseudoaspidinol belonging to a phloroglucinol derivative and investigated its antifungal activity as well as its intermediates. However, the results showed these compounds have low antifungal activity. In this study, in order to increase antifungal activities of phloroglucinol derivatives, we introduced antifungal pharmacophore allylamine into the methylphloroglucinol. Meanwhile, we remained C1–C4 acyl group in C-6 position of methylphloroglucinol using pseudoaspidinol as the lead compound to obtain novel phloroglucinol derivatives, synthesized 17 compounds, and evaluated antifungal activities on Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes in vitro. Molecular docking verified their ability to combine the protein binding site. The results indicated that most of the compounds had strong antifungal activity, in which compound 17 were found to be the most active on Trichophyton rubrum with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 3.05 μg/mL and of Trichophyton mentagrophytes with MIC of 5.13 μg/mL. Docking results showed that compounds had a nice combination with the protein binding site. These researches could lay the foundation for developing antifungal agents of clinical value.

The rise in antibiotic resistance among pathogenic microorganisms has created an imbalance in the drugs available for treatment, in part due to the slow development of new antibiotics. Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are highly susceptible to antibiotic-resistant pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Phloroglucinols and related polyketide natural products have demonstrated antimicrobial activity against a number of Gram-positive bacteria including S. aureus. In this study, we investigated a series of acylated phloroglucinol derivatives to determine their potential as lead compounds for the design of novel therapeutics. To assess the activity of these compounds, we determined the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentration (MIC and MBC, respectively), the minimum biofilm inhibitory and biofilm eradication concentration (MBIC and MBEC, respectively), and evaluated hemolytic activity, as well as their interaction with clinically relevant antibiotics. Of the 12 compounds tested against MRSA and methicillin-susceptible strains, four showed MIC values ranging from 0.125 to 8 μg ml?1 and all of them were bactericidal. However, none of the compounds were able to eradicate biofilms at the concentrations tested. Three of the four did not display hemolytic activity under the conditions tested. Further studies on the interactions of these compounds with clinically relevant antibiotics showed that phlorodipropanophenone displayed synergistic activity when paired with doxycycline. Our results suggest that these acylated phloroglucinols have potential for being further investigated as antibacterial leads.
