New imidazolidine derivatives show potent anti-fungal activity against Candida species by inhibiting key aspartic proteases. Compounds 5g, 5h, and 5j are promising candidates for further preclinical development against candidiasis.

Area of Science:

  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Mycology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Fungal infections, particularly candidiasis caused by Candida species, represent a significant global health threat.
  • Candida Albicans secretes aspartic proteases (Saps), crucial virulence factors involved in fungal physiology and host-pathogen interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of novel sulfonyl-containing imidazolidine derivatives as anti-candidal agents.
  • To evaluate the inhibition of Candida Albicans aspartic proteases (Saps) by these compounds.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis and characterization of 12 sulfonyl-containing imidazolidine compounds (5a-l).
  • In vitro assessment of anti-candida activity and aspartic protease inhibition.
  • In silico molecular docking studies to validate enzyme-inhibition interactions.

Main Results:

  • All tested imidazolidine derivatives (5a-l) demonstrated inhibition of fungal aspartic proteases.
  • Compounds exhibited significant anti-candida activity.
  • Imidazolidine derivatives 5g, 5h, and 5j were identified as the most potent anti-fungal agents.

Conclusions:

  • Sulfonyl-containing imidazolidines are effective inhibitors of Candida aspartic proteases.
  • The identified potent compounds (5g, 5h, 5j) warrant further preclinical investigation for candidiasis treatment.
