Benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidines inspired from cercosporamide CaPkc1 inhibitor: Synthesis and evaluation of fluconazole susceptibility restoration
Abstract
In a context of growing resistance to classical antifungal therapy, the design of new drugs targeting alternative pathways is highly expected. Benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives, derived from (-)-cercosporamide, were synthesized and evaluated as potential Candida albicans PKC inhibitors in the aim of restoring susceptibility to azole treatment. Co-administration assay of benzofuropyrimidinedione 23 and fluconazole highlighted a synergistic effect on inhibition of cell growth of a Candida albicans resistant strain.
Keywords: Antifungal activity; Benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine; Candida albicans Pkc1; Cercosporamide; Fluconazole susceptibility restoration.
