such as fluconazole and posaconazole are effective antifungal agents, they potently inhibit a broad range of off-target human cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) leading to various safety issues (e.g., drug-drug interactions, liver, and reproductive toxicities). Recently we described the rationally-designed, antifungal agent VT-1161 that is more selective for fungal CYP51 than related human CYP enzymes such
尽管口服活性唑类药物(例如氟康唑和泊沙康唑)是有效的抗真菌剂,但它们能有效抑制广泛的脱靶人细胞色素P450酶(CYP),从而导致各种安全问题(例如,药物相互作用,肝脏和生殖功能)毒性)。最近,我们描述了合理设计的抗真菌剂VT-1161,其对真菌CYP51的选择性比相关的人类CYP酶(例如CYP3A4)高。在这里,我们描述了使用烟曲霉的同源性模型来设计和优化一系列新型的高选择性,广谱真菌CYP51抑制剂。该系列产品包括口服抗真菌药VT-1598,对酵母菌,皮肤真菌和霉菌病原体表现出优异的功效。
