Design, synthesis, and SAR study of 3-(benzo[ d ][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)- N -benzylpropanamide as novel potent synergists against fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans
on our previous discovery and SAR study on the lead compounds 7d, 5 and berberine which can significantly enhance the susceptibility of fluconazole against fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans, a series of 3-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(substituted benzyl)propanamides were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro synergistic activity in combination with fluconazole. The series 2a–f
