The National Institutes of Health Molecular Libraries and Probe Production Centers Network (NIH-MLPCN) screened >300,000 compounds to evaluate their ability to restore fluconazole susceptibility in resistant Candida albicans isolates. Additional counter screens were incorporated to remove substances inherently toxic to either mammalian or fungal cells. A substituted indazole possessing the desired bioactivity profile was selected for further development, and initial investigation of structure–activity relationships led to the discovery of ML212.
国家卫生研究院分子图书馆和探针生产中心网络(NIH-MLPCN)筛选了超过300,000种化合物,以评估它们恢复对耐药念珠菌的氟康唑敏感性的能力。还加入了额外的对照筛选,以去除对哺乳动物或真菌细胞有毒的物质。选择了具有所需生物活性特征的取代吲唑化合物进行进一步开发,并初步研究结构-活性关系导致了ML212的发现。
