to fungal infections. Hence, a series of novel myristic acid derivatives were designed via molecular docking studies and ADMET studies by targeting NMT (N-Myristoyltransferase). The designed myristic acid derivatives were synthesized by converting myristic acid into myristoyl chloride and coupling it with aryl amines to yield corresponding myristic acid derivatives. The compounds were purified and characterized
近年来,N-肉豆蔻酰转移酶(NMT)已被确定为治疗真菌感染的新靶点。据观察,目前真菌感染引起的发病率和死亡率有所增加。因此,通过分子对接研究和ADMET研究,以NMT(N-肉豆蔻酰转移酶)为靶点,设计了一系列新型肉豆蔻酸衍生物。通过将肉豆蔻酸转化为肉豆蔻酰氯并与芳基胺偶联生成相应的肉豆蔻酸衍生物来合成所设计的肉豆蔻酸衍生物。通过 FTIR、NMR 和 HRMS 光谱分析对化合物进行纯化和表征。在这项研究中,我们进行了目标 NMT 抑制测定。在NMT筛选试验结果中,化合物3u、3m和3t比其他肉豆蔻酸衍生物表现出更好的抑制作用。在体外抗真菌评估中,通过测定肉豆蔻酸衍生物的最低抑制浓度 (MIC50) 来评估其对白色念珠菌和黑曲霉菌株的作用。与标准药物FLZ(氟康唑)相比,化合物3u、3k、3r和3t对白色念珠菌表现出优异的抗真菌能力,化合物3u、3m和3r对黑曲霉表现出优异的抗真菌能力。总之,我们确定了一系列新的抗真菌剂。
