Modification of the C-2 position of a benzofuran derivative 6 (RO-09-4609), an N-myristoyltransferase (Nmt) inhibitor, has led us to discover antifungal agents that are active in a murine systemic candidiasis model. The drug design is based on the analysis of a crystal structure of a Candida Nmt complex with 2. The optimization has been guided by various biological evaluations including a quasi in vivo assay and pharmacokinetic analysis.
对N-肉豆蔻酰基转移酶(Nmt)抑制剂苯并呋喃衍生物6(RO-09-4609)的C-2位进行修饰,使我们发现了在小鼠系统性念珠菌病模型中具有活性的抗真菌剂。药物设计基于对念珠菌Nmt与2形成的复合物晶体结构的分析。优化过程以包括准体内试验和药代动力学分析在内的各种生物学评估为指导。
