During the course of our work on the synthesis and screening of new drugs for tuberculosis, we have identified N1-(4-acetamido phenyl)-N4-(2-nitro benzylidene) semicarbazone (1b), which inhibited in vitro Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv; 100%

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.

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.
