Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) such as cryptococcal meningitis (CM) remain a serious health issue worldwide due to drug resistance closely related to biofilm formation. Unfortunately, available antifungal drugs with ideal safety and promising potency are still lacking; thus, the research of new candidate and therapeutic approach is urgently needed. As an important gas messenger molecule, nitric oxide (NO) shows vital inhibition on various microorganism biofilms. Hence, three series of novel NO-donating azole derivatives were designed and synthesized, and the in vitro antifungal activity as well as the mechanism of action was investigated. Among them, 3a and 3e displayed excellent antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans and biofilm depending on the release of NO. Moreover, a more stable analogue 3h of 3a demonstrated markedly anti-CM effects via intranasal dropping, avoiding the first-pass effects and possessing a better brain permeability bypass blood-brain barrier. These results present a promising antifungal candidate and intranasal dropping approach for the treatment of CM, warranting further studies.
