The assertion made by Wu et al. that aromaticity may have considerable implications for molecular design motivated us to use nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) as an aromaticity criterion to evaluate the antifungal activity of two series of indol-4-ones. A linear regression analysis of NICS and antifungal activity showed that both tested variables were significantly related (p –1 for Candida glabrata, Candida krusei and Candida guilliermondii with compounds 15-32, 15-15 and 15-1. The MIC for filamentous fungi was 1.95 μg·mL–1 for Aspergillus niger for compounds 15-1, 15-33 and 15-34. The results obtained support the use of NICS in the molecular design of compounds with antifungal activity.

It has been proven that inhibiting human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH) restricts the growth of rapidly proliferating cells, thus hDHODH can be developed as a promising target for the treatment of immunological disease and cancer. Here, a succession of substituted hydrazino-thiazole derivatives were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated through structure-based optimization, of which compound 22 was the most potent inhibitor of hDHODH with an IC50 value of 1.8 nM. Furthermore, 22 exhibited much better antiproliferative activity than brequinar, both in HCT-116 and BxPC-3 cancer cell lines. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that 22 induced S phase cell cycle arrest and promoted induction of apoptosis. All results established a proof that blocking the pyrimidine de novo synthesis pathway by inhibiting the rate-limiting enzyme hDHODH is an attractive therapy for cancer.
