Abstract

A series of 2-chloro-3-arylsulfanyl-[1,4]naphthoquinones (2), 2,3-bis-arylsulfanyl-[1,4]naphthoquinones (3) and 12H-benzo[b]phenothiazine-6,11-diones and their analogs 6-8 were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. Compounds 3a and 3b were found to possess most potent antiproliferative and cell killing ability. Compounds 1-8 were also evaluated for antifungal activities. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds was studied and the results show that compound 2a (MIC(50)=1.56 microg/mL) exhibited in vitro potent antifungal activity compared to the clinically useful antifungal drug Fluconazole (MIC(50)=2.0 microg/mL) against Sporothrix. schenckii. Compound 2a (MIC(50)=1.56 microg/mL) also exhibited same antifungal activity compared to clinically useful drug Amphotericin-B (MIC(50)=1.56 microg/mL) against Trichophyton. mentagraphytes.

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida and it can affect many parts for the body including mucosal membranes as well as the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts. Here is the latest research.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.
