| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Introduction: Given the increasing resistance of Aspergillus spp to azoles, it is important to find new compounds that are effective, such as the spirocyclopropane oxindoles (4a-4b-4c) derivatives. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of spirocyclopropane oxindoles (4a-4b-4c) derivatives against Aspergillus spp.
Methods: In vitro cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against MCF-7 cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. In the next step, the antifungal susceptibility of 50 Aspergillus isolates of clinical origin to spirocyclopropane oxindoles (4a-4b-4c) derivatives and itraconazole was evaluated according to CLSI M38A2 guidelines. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS20 software and the significance level was considered as P < 0.05.
Results:The results revealed that among the three synthesized compounds, 4c exhibited the lowest toxicity to MCF-7 cells. However, this level of toxicity was higher than control.
In the present study, there is a significant difference between the MIC values of 4a-4b-4c oxindole derivatives of spirocyclopropane and itraconazole against Aspergillus spp. Comparing the MIC values of 4a, 4b and 4c oxindole spirocyclopropane derivatives with each other (4a-4b-4c), 4b derivatives have lower MIC values for Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus isolates. In addition, 4c derivatives had the highest MIC for Aspergillus terreus.
Conclusion: Although the antifungal effects of Spirocyclopropane Oxindoles (4a-4b-4c) on Aspergillus spp were significantly lower than itraconazole, but with structural changes, we can hope to increase the antifungal effects of these compounds. |
