“…Both BHBM and D0 are acylhydrazone compounds with the structure R 1 R 2 C = NNH 2 ( Fig. 1 ) ( 30 – 32 ). Hydrazone molecules have been shown to exert diverse biological functions, including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, anticancer, and antidepressant effects ( 33 – 36 ), but these activities are linked to specific structures of hydrazones, which we can readily modify (data not shown), potentially increasing their antifungal activity.…”

Recent estimates suggest that >300 million people are afflicted by serious fungal infections worldwide. Current antifungal drugs are static and toxic and/or have a narrow spectrum of activity. Thus, there is an urgent need for the development of new antifungal drugs. The fungal sphingolipid glucosylceramide (GlcCer) is critical in promoting virulence of a variety of human-pathogenic fungi. In this study, we screened a synthetic drug library for compounds that target the synthesis of fungal, but not mammalian, GlcCer and found two compounds [N′-(3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methylbenzohydrazide (BHBM) and its derivative, 3-bromo-N′-(3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzylidene) benzohydrazide (D0)] that were highly effective in vitro and in vivo against several pathogenic fungi. BHBM and D0 were well tolerated in animals and are highly synergistic or additive to current antifungals. BHBM and D0 significantly affected fungal cell morphology and resulted in the accumulation of intracellular vesicles. Deep-sequencing analysis of drug-resistant mutants revealed that four protein products, encoded by genes APL5, COS111, MKK1, and STE2, which are involved in vesicular transport and cell cycle progression, are targeted by BHBM.

“…Despite the fact that acylhydrazone derivatives are rapidly metabolized, this motif is encountered in several approved drugs (e.g., nifuroxazide and dantrolene) [24] and drug candidates [25][26][27]. The facile synthetic availability of acylhydrazone derivatives, which allows furnishing congeneric series of compounds with distinct physico-chemical properties and bioactivities, makes it a promising scaffold in the drug discovery field [28][29][30]. Herein, we describe the synthesis of novel derivatives and the determination of their in vitro and in cellulo ability to bind to G4 of EBNA1 mRNA, as well as their effect on NCL-mediated GArdependent limitation of EBNA1 expression and antigen presentation.…”

“…These complexes show oxidase biometric catalytic activity, anticancer and antimicrobial activities [6][7][8][9][10][11]. The study of Schiff bases and their complexes has become a focal point of interest for chemists in recent years, not only for their several structural features, but due to their potential application in various fields [12][13][14][15].…”

This work presents an experimental and theoretical study on complexes of copper(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with Schiff base ligand 3-propyl-(N-o-toluidine)quinazoline semicarbazone (PTQS). The spectroscopic properties of the complexes have been investigated by IR and electronic spectra. The molecular geometry of the complexes have been proposed on the basis of elemental analyses, molar mass and magnetic susceptibility. It is suggested that the ligand PTQS acts in a bidentate manner and coordination proposes with azomethine N and carbonyl oxygen atom of semicarbazone moiety. The remaining coordination sites are occupied by negative ions such as Cl − . The geometry of complexes was assigned to be octahedral.
