Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and specifically relates to an azole antifungal compound and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the widespread development of organ transplantation and the continuous expansion of the HIV-infected population, the number of people with low immunity has increased. In addition, the use of invasive diagnostic and treatment equipment has led to the spread of invasive deep fungal infections around the world. Compared with the increasingly serious fungal infections, the development speed of new antifungal drugs is far slower than the speed at which fungi develop drug resistance. The increasingly serious fungal drug resistance is also one of the important reasons for the annual increase in the incidence and mortality of invasive fungal infections in immunodeficient patients. Currently, the varieties that can be used in clinical practice mainly include polyenes, azoles, and echinocandins. Triazole drugs are a class of drugs with the most development potential and advantages. Drugs such as itraconazole (1989), fluconazole (1990), voriconazole (2001), posaconazole (2006), and isavuconazole (2015) have been launched on the market and have become the first-line drugs for clinical antifungal infections. However, due to the long-term treatment and repeated administration of azole antifungal drugs, fungi have developed resistance to them, resulting in clinical treatment failure. Therefore, it is still very important to develop a new generation of antifungal drugs, especially drugs against resistant fungi. Summary of the invention

When the MIC is higher than the highest concentration of 32μg / mL, it is counted as ">32μg / mL". If the MIC is the lowest concentration or below the lowest concentration, it is counted as "MIC≤0.0625μg / mL". If the MIC of the test compound is ≤0.0625μg / mL, the final drug concentrations of each well are 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.0625, 0.0312, 0.0156, and 0.008μg / mL for further testing. If the MIC is the lowest concentration or below the lowest concentration, no distinction is made and it is counted as "MIC≤0.008μg / mL".

[0070] (II) Experimental results

[0071] The results of the in vitro antifungal test of the compounds are shown in Table 2.

[0072] Table 2 Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, μg / mL) of the compounds against fungi in vitro

[0073]

[0074]

[0075] The above experimental results show that most of the compounds of the present invention have good antifungal activity characteristics, and some compounds have better inhibition on Candida albicans than the positive drug fluconazole, and have excellent antifungal activity.

[0076] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
