 Today there are many antifungal drugs and their formulations like a tablet, capsule, cream, ointment, gel, soap etc are present in the market many of them are effective in treatment in minor or severe cases of fungal infection caused due to different fungal or yeast species. But there are many side effects or adverse effects that occur which makes them unpleasant. This challenges to drug developers to make drug or formulations which are effective in the treatment and have no or minimum side effects. This challenge makes our eyes focus on natural chemical constituents, which are known to be having fewer side effects with effective treatment of disease. Here we have taken two receptors from the RCSB PDB database which is a structural component of candida Albicans (1CZ1 and IAI9) proven to be the target of many antifungal drugs, both are responsible for different mode of action. The Anacyclus pyrethrum (L.) and Senna Obtusifolia (L.)  have many chemical constituents having different pharmacological activity like anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, etc. from these two plant species some chemical constituents are selected depending on their structural characteristics. After selection ligand-receptor molecular docking (by using Autodock Vina) was carried out between them. For its verification of antifungal activity, it is then compared with selected Standard drugs which have already clinically proved as an antifungal drug. Sesamine from Anacyclus pyrethrum (L.) and Obtusifoline and Physcion from Senna Obtusifolia (L.) are potent lead compounds which on future structural modification gives us desired antifungal activity.

Plan: The present research work is aimed to synthesize newer, less toxic and more effective Mannich bases of 1, 4 thiazine derivatives and further compare their antifungal activities. Preface: Microbial infections are becoming the most important issue for global health and economy. Among these fungal infections are the major problem these days. The morbidity and mortality of invasive fungal infections are unacceptably high. It is an urgent need for the development of new antifungal agents to treat these life-threatening invasive infections. Methodology: Mannich base was synthesized by using o-amino thiophenol with maleic anhydride. Further, four derivatives of Mannich bases were synthesized from 3-oxo-3, 4-dihydro-2H-1, 4-benzothiazin-2-yl) acetic acid with sulpha drugs, ethanol, and formaldehyde. Then synthesized Mannich bases were docked against Dihydrofolate reductase complexed with NADPH and 6- methyl-5- [3-methyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl) but-1-yn-1-yl]pyrimidine-2,4-diamine (UCP115A)using Argus Lab software. On this basis, we selected 3QLS as a biological target for docking study of synthesized compound. Outcome: The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by UV, IR and Mass Spectroscopic studies. All the newly synthesized derivatives were screened for antifungal activity against Candida albicans NCIM 3100 and Aspergillus niger NCIM 596 by agar diffusion method (Kirby- Bauer method) using fluconazole (10µg/disc) as the standard and dimethyl sulphoxide as the vehicle. The docking results indicate the Mannich bases of 1, 4-thiazines (ligand binding energy varies from -8.9046kcal/mol to -12,0457kcal/mol) shows considerable antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Out of the four derivatives, E4 (Sulfamethoxazole substituted 1, 4- thiazine) possess the best ligand pose energy (-12.0414 kcal/mol) and two hydrogen bond. Among these synthesized compounds, compound E4([4({[4-(N-(5-methyl-3-isoxazolyl) amino sulfonyl) phenyl] amino} methyl)-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H1,4-benzothiazin-2yl] acetic acid) showed highest antifungal activity due to the presence of 1,4- thiazine with sulfamethoxazole substitution.

Aglaia is the largest genus of the Meliaceae family with about 120 species, which grow mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions. In Vietnam, the genus contains about 30 species. Many are used in folk medicine for the treatment of different diseases. Rocaglamides, bisamides, lignans, triterpenoids and steroids are the main classes of compounds found in the genus. Some of them exhibit diverse biological activities. This research work reports the isolation of four compounds from A. odorata and A. hoaensis. Extraction was carried out using Soxhlet extractors with organic solvents followed by concentration of the solvents to yield crude extracts. Isolation was performed using column chromatography on silica gel and gel permeation on Sephadex LH-20. Chemical structures were determined using 1D NMR (1H, 13C NMR, DEPT), 2D NMR (HSQC, HMBC, COSY, NOESY), IR and HRESIMS spectroscopic methods, and comparison of the spectral data with those in literature. Two triterpenoids, aglaiadoratol and 3b -friedelinol, were isolated from the whole tree of A. odorata. Two other compounds, (+)-syringaresinol lignan and threo-9,10-O-isopropylidene- 13-hydroxy-(11E)-octadecenoic acid, a derivative of fatty acid, were obtained from the bark of A. hoaensis. Among the four isolated compounds, this is the first time that aglaiadoratol has been reported in the world. In addition, (+)-syringares inol ligan and threo-9,10-O-isopropylidene-13- hydroxy-(11E)-octadecenoic acid are reported here for the first time in A. hoaensis.
