The synthesis, in vitro antifungal evaluation and SAR studies of 101 compounds of the 4-aryl-, 4-alkyl-, 4-pyridyl or -quinolinyl-4-N-arylamino-1-butenes series and related compounds, are reported here. Active structures showed to inhibit (1,3)-beta-D-glucan and mainly chitin synthases, enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of the major fungal cell wall polymers.

Invasive candidiasis has attracted global attention with a high incidence and mortality. Current antifungal drugs are limited by unfavorable therapeutic efficacy, significant hepatorenal toxicity, and the development of drug resistance. Herein, we designed the first generation of lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51)/heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) dual inhibitors on the basis of antifungal synergism.

Introduction: Fungal keratitis is a leading cause of corneal blindness, with current antifungal treatments having limited efficacy. One promising treatment modality is Rose Bengal (RB) photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (PDAT) that has shown mixed success against fungal keratitis. Therefore, there is a need to explore the antimicrobial efficacy of other green-light activated photosensitizers that have deep penetration in the cornea to combat the deep fungal infections, such as Erythrosin B (EB) and Eosin Y (EY).
