Popis: Worldwide, invasive candidiasis are a burden for the health system due to difficulties to manage patients, to the increasing of the resistance of the current therapeutics and the emergence of naturally resistant species of Candida. In this context, the development of innovative antifungal drugs is urgently needed. During invasive candidiasis, yeast is submitted to many stresses (oxidative, thermic, osmotic) in the human host. In order to resist in this context, yeast develops different strategy, especially the biosynthesis of trehalose. Starting from the 3D structural data of TPS2, an enzyme implicated in trehalose biosynthesis, we identified hydrazone as an interesting scaffold to design new antifungal drugs. Interestingly, our hydrazone derivatives which demonstrate antifungal and anti-biofilm effects on Candida spp., are non-toxic in in vitro and in vivo models (Galleria mellonella).
