Evaluation of Fifteen 5,6-Dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines Against Nakaseomyces glabrata: Integrating In Vitro Studies, Molecular Docking, QSAR, and In Silico Toxicity Assessments.

ABSTRACT: Nakaseomyces glabrata (Candida glabrata), the second most prevalent Candida pathogen globally, has emerged as a major clinical threat due to its ability to develop high-level azole resistance. In this study, two new 5,6-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-c]quinazoline derivatives (c11 and c12) were synthesized and characterized using IR, LC-MS, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectra. Along with 13 previously reported analogues, these compounds underwent in vitro antifungal testing against clinical N. glabrata isolates using a serial dilution method (0.125-64 mg/L). Remarkably, compounds c5 and c1 exhibited potent antifungal activity, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.37 μM and 0.47 μM, respectively-about a 20-fold improvement in μM
