Synthesis, Antifungal Ergosterol Inhibition, Antibiofilm Activities, and Molecular Docking on β-Tubulin and Sterol 14-Alpha Demethylase along with DFT-Based Quantum Mechanical Calculation of Pyrazole Containing Fused Pyridine-Pyrimidine Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Multidrug-resistant fungal infections have become much more common in recent years, especially in immune-compromised patients. Therefore, researchers and pharmaceutical professionals have focused on the development of novel antifungal agents that can tackle the problem of resistance. In continuation to this, a novel series of pyrazole-bearing pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione derivatives (4a-4o) have been developed. These compounds have been screened against Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus clavatus. The synthesized compounds were characterized by well-known spectroscopic techniques, i.e., IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectrometry. In vitro antifungal results revealed that compo
