Benzofuran has antifungal activity as the inhibitor of N-myristoyltransferase. Twenty-nine novel benzofuran-semicarbazide hybrids were designed and synthesized by principle of drug combinationatory. On this basis, the benzofuran ring was simplified to a resorcinol structure, and sixteen novel 1,3-dialkoxybenzene-semicarbazide hybrids were designed and synthesized. All structures of the target compounds were characterized by HRMS and NMR. The in vitro antifungal activity of target compounds was evaluated using the microdilution broth method against eight strains of pathogenic fungi with fluconazole as positive control. According to the results of the target compounds, structure-activity relationship (SAR) is summarized. The inhibitory activity against the tested strains of simplified compounds (K01—K16) has different levels improvement compared with compounds Z01—Z29. K01—K16 showed significant antifungal activities against A. fumigatus, C. kruseii, and sensitive C. albicans 5314. Notably, compounds Z20, Z22, K10, K11 and K16 also displayed different activities against two fluconazole-resistance strains that were isolated from AIDS patients. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against fluconazole-resistant strains were in the range of 2—8 μg/mL and 4—32μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to investigate the binding affinities and interaction modes between the target compound and N-myristoyltransferase.

A series of novel 2,3-dihydro-4H-1-benzoselenin-4-one (thio)semicarbazone derivatives were designed and synthesized by using molecular hybridization approach. All the target compounds were characterized by HRMS and NMR and evaluated in vitro antifungal activity against five pathogenic strains. In comparison with precursor selenochroman-4-ones, the hybrid molecules in this study showed significant improvement in antifungal activities. Notably, compound B8 showed significant antifungal activity against other strains excluding Aspergillus fumigatus (0.25 μg/mL on Candida albicans, 2 μg/mL on Cryptococcus neoformans, 8 μg/mL on Candida zeylanoides and 2 μg/mL on fluconazole-sensitive strains of Candida albicans). Moreover, compounds B8, B9 and C2 also displayed most potent activities against four fluconazole-resistance strains. Especially the MIC values of the hybrid molecule B8 against fluconazole-resistant strains were in the range of 0.5–2 μg/mL. Therefore, the molecular hybridization approach in this study provided new ideas for the development of antifungal drug.

Twelve new 1-(4-substituted-phenyl)-3-(4-oxo- 2-methyl-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)- urea were synthesized and screened for anticonvulsant, CNS depressant, and sedativehypnotic activity. After i.p. injection to mice at doses of 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg body weight 2,3-Disubstitutedquinazolin- 4(3H)-one were examined in the maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) induced seizure models in mice. Spectroscopic data and elemental analysis were consistent with the newly synthesized compounds. The neurotoxicity was assessed using the rotorod method. M3, M4 and M10 were found to be active in both MES screen and scPTZ screen at 0.5 h. All except M11 showed more than 44% decrease in locomotor activity after 1 h of compound administration via actophotometer screen. CNS-depressant activity screened with the help of the forced swim method resulted into some potent compounds. Except for M6 and M11 other tested compounds were found to exhibit potent CNS depressants activity as indicated by increased immobility time. It can be concluded that newly synthesized compounds possessed sedative-hypnotic and CNS depressant activities. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010.

The Plasmodium falciparum cysteine protease falcipain-2, one of the most promising targets for antimalarial drug design, plays a key role in parasite survival as a major peptide hydrolase within the hemoglobin degradation pathway. In this work, a series of novel dihydroartemisinin derivatives based on (thio)semicarbazone scaffold were designed and synthesized as potential falcipain-2 inhibitors. The in vitro biological assay indicated that most of the target compounds showed excellent inhibition activity against P. falciparum falcipain-2, with IC50 values in the 0.29-10.63 μM range. Molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the binding affinities and interaction modes for the inhibitors. The preliminary SARs were summarized and could serve as a foundation for further investigation in the development of antimalarial drugs.

The incidence of life-threatening fungal infections is increasing dramatically. In an attempt to develop novel antifungal agents, our previously synthesized phenoxyalkylpiperazine triazole derivatives were used as lead structures for further optimization. By means of structure-based bioisosterism, triazolone was used as a new bioisostere of oxygen atom. This type of bioisosteric replacement can improve the water solubility without loss of hydrogen-bonding interaction with the target enzyme. A series of triazolone-containing triazoles were rationally designed and synthesized. As compared with fluconazole, several compounds showed higher antifungal activity with broader spectrum, suggesting their potential for further evaluations.

Several new 1-(4-substituted-phenyl)-3-(4-oxo-2-phenyl/ethyl-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)-urea were synthesized and screened for anticonvulsant, CNS depressant and sedative-hypnotic activity in the mice. After i.p. injection to mice at doses of 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg body weight synthesized compounds were examined in the maximal electroshock induced seizures (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) induced seizure models in mice. Spectroscopic data and elemental analysis were consistent with the newly synthesized compounds. The neurotoxicity was assessed using the rotorod method. Compounds E1, E6, E9, E12, P3, P4 and P6 were found to be active in the MES screen whereas E1, P4, P6 and P11 were found to be active in the scPTZ screen. All except E6, E11 and P6 showed more than 50% decrease in locomotor activity at 1 h of compound administration via actophotometer screen. CNS depressant activity screened with the help of the forced swim method resulted into some potent compounds. All the compounds were found to exhibit potent CNS depressants activity as indicated by increased immobility time. It can be concluded that newly synthesized compounds possessed promising CNS activities.
