CZx-243
CZx-243 is an orally active broad-spectrum antifungal agent. CZx-243 binds to the active site of fungal CYP51 and interferes with ergosterol biosynthesis by depleting ergosterol and causing the accumulation of upstream sterol intermediates. CZx-243 blocks yeast-to-hypha transition; it inhibits the membrane integrity of fungi such as Candida glabrata and Cryptococcus neoformans. CZx-243 significantly reduces renal fungal burden in a systemic mouse model of invasive fungal infection resistant to Fluconazole (HY-B0101). CZx-243 can be used in the research of fungal infections.

CZx-243 (compound D27) potently inhibits the growth of susceptible fungal species including C. albicans (SC5314), C. albicans (CPCC400616), C. tropicalis (GIM 2.183), C. parapsilosis (GIM 2.190), C. glabrata (clinical isolation), C. krusei (AS 2.1045), C. neoformans (CGMCC 2.3161), and A. fumigatus (CGMCC 3.7795) with MIC values ranging from 0.00625 to 0.125 μg/mL[1].
CZx-243 potently inhibits the growth of Fluconazole (HY-B0101)-resistant C. albicans Strain 17# with an MIC80 of 0.0625 μg/mL[1].
CZx-243 disrupts cell membrane integrity and causes morphological damage to C. albicans (ATCC SC5314) cells after 48 h of incubation at 35 °C[1].
CZx-243 potently inhibits biofilm formation in C. glabrata (clinical isolation) and C. neoformans (CGMCC 2.3161) with SMIC50 values of 0.0625 μg/mL and 0.5 μg/mL respectively[1].
CZx-243 (2-8 μg/mL) suppresses the yeast-to-hyphae morphological transition in C. albicans (CPCC400616)[1].
CZx-243 (0.05 μg/mL; 16 h) inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in C. albicans (SC5314) and C. neoformans (CGMCC 2.3161), causing profound depletion of ergosterol and accumulation of upstream sterol intermediates[1].
CZx-243 exhibits moderate inhibition of human CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 enzymes with IC50 values ranging from 3.74 to 9.82 μM[1].
CZx-243 has low cytotoxicity against HUVEC and SH-SY5Y cells, with IC50 values of 16.24 μM and 25.75 μM respectively, and high selectivity for fungal cells over human cells[1].
