Abstract:

Twenty-six 4-fluoropheny-2,3-dihydro-l,5-benzothiazepine derivatives 2a—2z were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and high resolution mass spectrum(HRMS). The antifungal activities of those compounds were screened using the disk diffusion method against C. albicans and C. neoformans. The results showed that benzothiazepines 2a—2f had high antifungal activities against C. neoformans, while all of the benzothiazepines 2a—2z were almost inactive against C. albicans. Furthermore, the 1,5-benzothiazepines 2a—2f, which had high antifungal activities, were subjected to further pharmacological evaluation, including minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC, MIC80) and minimum fungicidal concentration(MFC) against C. neoformans. The results revealed that the MIC and MFC values for the above compounds were much lower than those of fluconazole. In order to study the structural features responsible for the antifungal activity of compounds 2a—2f, four series of analogues 3a—3f, 4a—4f, 5a—5f and 6a—6c were synthesized and tested for their antifungal activities against C. neoformans. The results suggested that the sulfur atoms, C=N structure on the seven-membered ring and the methoxycarbonyl/ethoxycarbonyl group at the 2 position are essential for antifungal activity.
