Synthesis, Bioevaluation and Structural Study of Substituted Phthalazin-1(2H)-ones Acting as Antifungal Agents

Abstract: Twenty-five polysubstituted phthalazinone derivatives were synthesized and tested for their antifungal activity against a panel of pathogenic and clinically important yeasts and filamentous fungi. Among them, the compound 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-methylphthalazin-1(2H)-one (5) exhibited a remarkable antifungal activity against standardised strains of dermatophytes and Cryptococcus neoformans, as well as against some clinical isolates. A physicochemical study performed on compound 5 revealed its conformational and … Show more

“…Among the different nitrogen containing heterocycles, phthalazines play an important role in medicinal chemistry and subsequently have emerged as a pharmacophore. The phthalazine structural motifs have attracted a great deal of interest because of their ready accessibility, diverse chemical reactivity, and wide gamut of biological activities like antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, anti‐inflammatory, and anticonvulsant activities. In organic synthesis, N ‐protected amino acids are essential key precursors and have been used in many areas, for example, peptide synthesis, medicinal chemistry, as chiral sources, and polymer materials .…”

“…The synthesis of α‐trifluoromethyl azelastine 36 started with the synthesis of N ‐methyl trifluoromethyl pyrrolidine 37 issued from the reduction of the N ‐Cbz pyrrolidine 12 ′ (LiAlH 4 , THF, reflux) (Scheme ). The N ‐methyl pyrrolidine 37 was then submitted to the ring‐expansion conditions using 38 as the nucleophile. The desired trifluoromethyl azelastine 36 was formed and isolated with a good yield of 70 %.…”
