ABSTRACT
Invasive fungal infections along with rising incidence of resistance to antifungal drugs pose increasing threat to immunocompromised individuals, including cancer patients. In this study, we examined the antifungal activity of dispiropyrrolidine tethered piperidone heterocyclic hybrids. Results indicate that compounds 5a and 6i have demonstrated a potent antifungal effect on multiple fungal strains, including Candida albicans, without exhibiting cytotoxicity to mammalian cells. Furthermore, these two compounds exhibited significant inhibition on Candida albicans hyphae and biofilm development that surpasses the FDA-approved antifungal drug currently used for treatment. Taken together, our results suggest that 5a and 6i are promising candidates for development into new antifungal drugs.
