Synthesis, Structure Optimization and Antifungal Screening of Novel Tetrazole Ring Bearing Acyl-Hydrazones
نویسندگان
چکیده
Azoles are generally fungistatic, and resistance to fluconazole is emerging in several fungal pathogens. In an attempt to find novel azole antifungal agents with improved activity, a series of tetrazole ring bearing acylhydrazone derivatives were synthesized and screened for their in vitro antifungal activity. The mechanism of their antifungal activity was assessed by studying their effect on the plasma membrane using flow cytometry and determination of the levels of ergosterol, a fungal-specific sterol. Propidium iodide rapidly penetrated a majority of yeast cells when they were treated with the synthesized compounds at concentrations just above MIC, implying that fungicidal activity resulted from extensive lesions of the plasma membrane. Target compounds also caused a considerable reduction in the amount of ergosterol. The results also showed that the presence and position of different substituents on the phenyl ring of the acylhydrazone pendant seem to play a role on the antifungal activity as well as in deciding the fungistatic and fungicidal nature of the compounds.

Several cycline dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitors with different chemical structures have been introduced. The hinge region of CDK2 (residues 81–84) contains a set of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor sites some of which must be satisfied for potent inhibitor binding. The benzimidazolone skeleton may provide such interactions. Accordingly, 3-sulfonamide substituted benzamido-benzimidazolones ...

After publication of the original article [1], the following error was reported in the Results section of the Abstract: "antifungal activity against one yeast i.e. Aspergillus niger" should read: "antifungal activity against one fungus i.e. Aspergillus niger". The authors would like to confirm all antifungal activity has been screened against fungi not yeast.
