Modification of the C-2 position of a benzofuran derivative 6 (RO-09-4609), an N-myristoyltransferase (Nmt) inhibitor, has led us to discover antifungal agents that are active in a murine systemic candidiasis model. The drug design is based on the analysis of a crystal structure of a Candida Nmt complex with 2. The optimization has been guided by various biological evaluations including a quasi in vivo assay and pharmacokinetic analysis. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
