A rapid increase in Candida albicans infection and drug resistance has caused an emergent need for new clinical strategies against this fungal pathogen. In this study, we evaluated the inhibitory activity of a series of 2-alkylaminoquinoline derivatives against C. albicans isolates. A total of 28 compounds were assessed for their efficacy in inhibiting the yeast-to-hypha transition, which is considered one of the key virulence factors in C. albicans. Several compounds showed strong activity to decrease the morphological transition and virulence of C. albicans cells. The two leading compounds, compound 1 (2-[piperidin-1-yl]quinolone) and compound 12 (6-methyl-2-[piperidin-1-yl]quinoline), remarkably attenuated C. albicans hyphal formation and cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner, but they showed no toxicity to either C. albicans cells or human cells. Intriguingly, compound 12 showed an excellent ability to inhibit C. albicans infection in the mouse oral mucosal infection model. This leading compound also interfered with the expression levels of hypha-specific genes in the cyclic AMP-protein kinase A and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Our findings suggest that 2-alkylaminoquinoline derivatives could potentially be developed as novel therapeutic agents against C. albicans infection due to their interference with the yeast-to-hypha transition.

Copper-Catalyzed Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling of N-Iminoquinolinium Ylides with Secondary Amines

The copper-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of N-iminoquinolinium ylides with secondary amines led to ortho-amino-substituted quinoline derivatives with high levels of regioselectivity in good yields. This direct C–H bond amination transformation employs CuI as the catalyst without the use of a ligand, external oxidant, or base. The reaction is operationally simple and can be conducted under mild conditions. The N-benzoyl directing group can be removed without any additional steps.
