Ten novel fenfuram-diarylamine hybrids were designed and synthesized. And their antifungal activities against four phytopathogenic fungi have been evaluated in vitro and most of the compounds demonstrated a significant antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Compound 5e exhibited the most potent antifungal activity against R. solani with an EC50value of 0.037 mg/L, far superior to the commercially available fungicide boscalid (EC50= 1.71 mg/L) and lead fungicide fenfuram (EC50= 6.18 mg/L). Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy images showed that the mycelia on treated media grew abnormally with tenuous, wizened and overlapping colonies compared to the negative control. Molecular docking studies revealed that compound 5e featured a higher affinity for succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) than fenfuram. Furthermore, it was shown that the 3-chlorophenyl group in compound 5e formed a CH-π interaction with B/Trp-206 and a Cl-π interaction with D/Tyr-128, rendering compound 5e more active than fenfuram against SDH.

Clofazimine, a member of the riminophenazine class, is one of the few antibiotics that are still active against multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). However, the clinical utility of this agent is limited by its undesirable physicochemical properties and skin pigmentation potential. With the goal of maintaining potent antituberculosis activity while improving physicochemical properties and lowering skin pigmentation potential, a series of novel riminophenazine derivatives containing a 2-methoxypyridylamino substituent at the C-2 position of the phenazine nucleus were designed and synthesized. These compounds were evaluated for antituberculosis activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and screened for cytotoxicity. Riminophenazines bearing a 3-halogen- or 3,4-dihalogen-substituted phenyl group at the N-5 position exhibited potent antituberculosis activity, with MICs ranging from 0.250.01 μg/mL. The 3,4-dihalogensubstituted compounds displayed low cytotoxicity, with IC50 values greater than 64 μg/mL. Among these riminophenazines, compound 15 exhibited equivalent in vivo efficacy against M. tuberculosis infection and reduced skin discoloration potential in an experimental mouse infection model as compared to clofazimine. Compound 15, as compared to clofazimine, also demonstrated improved physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetic profiles with a short half-life and less drug tissue accumulation. This compound is being evaluated as a potential drug candidate for the treatment of multidrug resistant tuberculosis.
