Hamdy, Rania published the artcileDesign and synthesis of new drugs inhibitors of Candida albicans hyphae and biofilm formation by upregulating the expression of TUP1 transcription repressor gene, Application of 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, the publication is European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2020), 105327, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Here, new compounds were designed to selectively inhibit C. albicans hyphae formation without affecting human cells to afford sufficient safety. The newly designed 5-[3-substitued-4-(4-substituedbenzyloxy)-benzylidene]-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-one derivatives, named SR, I (R1 = 4-Me, 4-CF3, 3-CF3; R2 = OMe, Cl, Br) showed very specific and effective inhibition activity against C. albicans hyphae formation. SR compounds caused hyphae inhibition activity at concentrations 10-40 fold lower than the concentration required to inhibit Candida yeast and bacterial growths. The anti-hyphae inhibition activities of SR compounds were via activation of the hyphae transcription repressor gene, TUP1. Correlation studies between the expression of TUP1 gene and the activity of SR compounds confirmed that the anti-C. albicans activities of SR compounds were via inhibition of hyphae formation. The newly designed SR compounds showed 10-40% haemolytic activity on human erythrocytes when compared to 100% haemolysis by 0.1% triton employed as pos. control. Furthermore, theor. prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of SR compounds confirmed their safety, efficient metabolism and possible oral bioavailability. With the minimal toxicity and significant activity of the newly-designed SR compounds, a future optimization of pharmaceutical formulation may develop a promising inhibitor of hyphal formation not only for C. albicans but also for other TUP1-dependent dimorphic fungal infections.
