With the increase of fungal infection and drug resistance, it is becoming an urgent task to discover the highly effective antifungal drugs. In the study, we selected the key ergosterol bio-synthetic enzymes (Squalene epoxidase, SE; 14 α-demethylase, CYP51) as dual-target receptors to guide the construction of novel antifungal compounds, which could achieve the purpose of improving drug efficacy and reducing drug-resistance. Three different series of amide naphthyl compounds were generated through the method of skeleton growth, and their corresponding target products were synthesized. Most of compounds displayed the obvious biological activity against different Candida spp. and Aspergillus fumigatus. Among of them, target compounds 14a-2 and 20b-2 not only possessed the excellent broad-spectrum anti-fungal activity (MIC50, 0.125–2 μg/mL), but also maintained the anti-drug-resistant fungal activity (MIC50, 1–4 μg/mL). Preliminary mechanism study revealed the compounds (14a-2, 20b-2) could block the bio-synthetic pathway of ergosterol by inhibiting the dual-target (SE/CYP51) activity, and this finally caused the cleavage and death of fungal cells. In addition, we also discovered that compounds 14a-2 and 20b-2 with low toxic and side effects could exert the excellent therapeutic effect in mice model of fungal infection, which was worthy for further in-depth study.

Ergosterol as the core component of fungal cell membrane plays a key role in maintaining cell morphology and permeability. The squalenee epoxidase (SE) and 14-demethylase (CYP51) are the important rate-limiting enzymes for ergosterol synthesis. In the study, these active fragments, which is derived from the structural groups of the common antifungal agents, were docked into the active sites of dual targets (SE, CYP51), respectively. Some of active fragments with the matching MCSS_Score values were selected and connected to construct three different series of novel arylalkene-amide derivatives as dual-target (SE, CYP51) antifungal inhibitors. Subsequently, these compounds were further synthesized, and their bioactivity was evaluated. Most of compounds showed a certain degree of antifungal activity in vitro. It was worth noting that the target compounds 17a and 25a with excellent antifungal activity (0.125–4 μg/mL) can inhibit the fluconazole-resistant Candida Strain 17#, CaR, 632, and 901 in the range of MIC values (4–8 μg/mL). Furthermore, their molecular mechanism, structural stability and low toxicity were further confirmed. The molecular docking and ADMET properties were predicted to guide the subsequent optimization of target compounds.
