A series of new antifungal triazole derivatives with phenylacetamide side chain were rational designed and synthesized on the basis of the structural information of lanosterol 14-demethylase (CYP51). In vitro antifungal activity assay indicated that several compounds showed higher activity than fluconazole. Especially, compound 8h showed excellent inhibitory activity against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans (MIC=0.0156 μg/mL), suggesting that it is a promising lead for the development of novel antifungal agents. The binding mode of compound 8h was investigated by flexible molecular docking. It interacted with CACYP51 through hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, and urolithins, which contribute to its broad pharmacological potential. This review summarizes evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as clinical studies, highlighting pomegranate's therapeutic effects in inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, microbial infections, and skin conditions. Mechanistic insights show modulation of pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).

In recent years, the hydrazide skeleton, as a pivotal class of nitrogen-containing structures, has garnered considerable attention in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis owing to its unique chemical versatility and broad-spectrum biological activities. In this study, a series of thiazole-containing benzoylhydrazine derivatives -, -, and - with structural divergence from conventional hydrazide-based molecular frameworks were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antifungal/antioomycete activities. The antifungal/antioomycete assay showed that some of the targeted compounds exhibited remarkable and broad-spectrum antifungal activities.

The persistent threat posed by phytopathogenic fungi to agricultural systems underscores the critical need for novel fungicides. Here, we synthesized and characterized a series of novel acridospiroisoxazole derivatives (H1-H36) using H/C NMR and mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of compound H23 was confirmed using single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis.
