`We found that the cyclic amine having methylene group at
`the 3 position is necessary for a broad antifungal specUam and
`a potent activity. KP-103 which has a (2R,3R)-absolute configuration
`and a 4-methylenepipendine moiety, showed the most potent
`activity and significantly lower MIC values than clotrimazole(CTZ).

`The in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity of SSY726, a new antifungal
`agent, was compared with that of fluconazole (FLCZ) against Candida spp,
`C.ryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus spp Minimum inhibitory
`concentration (MIC) was determined to estimate the in vitro activity by the
`twofold agar dilution method. The MIC ranges were as follows: SSY726,
`0.5 - 4 pg/~; FLCZ, 0.5 - 8 with synthetic amino acid medium for fungal
`(SAAMF), SSY726, 128 - >512; FLCZ, 512 - >512 with RPMI-1640
`MOPS medium (RPMI) against C.albicans (30 strains). SSY726, 4 - 256
`p g/mi; FLCZ, 4 - 256 with RPMI against C.neoformans (30 strains).
`SSY726, 32 - >512 pg/m]; FLCZ, 128 - >512 with SAAMF against
`
`A.~’gatus (30 strains).
`e in vivo activity was measured following one time on day 0 (in
`Candida and Crv.~tococcus models) or once a day on five successive days
`(in Aspergillus models) injection of the agent into 5-week old, ICR male
`mice. The efficacy was determined by the dose of agent necessary to
`achieve a certain T/C (treated group/control group) ratio of survival days. In
`the cendidosis model, 0.313 mg/kg of SSY726 or 5 mg/kg of FLCZ was
`required to achieve 300 % of T/C ratio, respectively. In the cryptococcosis
`model, 5 mg/kg of SSY726 or 20 mg/kg of FLCZ achieved 122 % of T/C.
`In the aspergillosis model, no significant difference in efficacy was detected
`between these two agents. Our study suggests that the in vivo efficacy of
`SSY726 is higher than that of FLCZ against Candida and CO,ptococcus.

`Efficacy of SSY726 on Systemic Candidosis and Cryptococcosis

`SSY726:(R)-(-)-3-mcthyl-3-methylsulfonyl- I-(I H- 1, 2, 4 - triazol - ! -yl)
`2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butan-2-ol is a new triazole antifungal agent.
`Its in vivo efficacies on the basis of prolongation of survival were tested in
`comparison with those of fluconazole (FLCZ). SSY726 showed more
`potent activity than FLCZ with a single i.v. treatment on systemic
`candidosis (C.albicans IFM 40009) and cryptococcosis (C.neoformans
`TIMM 1855) in mice. In normal mice, minimum effective doses were
`0.313 mg/kg of SSY726 and 1.25 mg/kg of FLCZ on candidosis, and 20
`mg/kg of SSY726 and over 20 mg/kg of FLCZ on cryptococcosis. In
`neutropenic mice (cyclophosphamide 100 mg/kg i.p. treated: Cy), they
`were 0.313 mg/kg of SSY726 and 5 mg/kg of FLCZ on candidosis, and
`1.25 mg/kg of SSY726 and 20 mg/kg of FLCZ on cryptococcosis. In
`5-fluorouracil treated mice (150 mg/kg i.p.), they were 0.313 mg/kg of
`SSY726 and 5 mg/kg of FLCZ on candidosis. SSY726 efficacy was also
`compared to that of FLCZ after repeated treatments. In normal mice, i.v.
`treatment of SSY726 every two days or daily doses of 1.25 mg/kg for
`eight days showed an e.quivalent effect to that of i.v. daily treatment of 5
`mg/kg FLCZ for eight days. In neutropenic mice (Cy), i.v. treatment of
`SSY726 every four days doses of !.25 mg/kg for eight days showed an
`equivalent effect to that of i.v. daily treatment of 5 mg/kg FLCZ for eight
`days. Thus, SSY726 was more effective than FLCZ in the systemic
`infection with C.albican$ and C.neoformans, especially in neutropenic
`mice.

`
`Anticryptococcal Activity of SSY726, a New Triazole Antifuagal
`Agent, in a Murine Pulmonary Infection Model. Y. IKEDA*, K.
`YAMAMOTO, and F. HIRAYAMA. Research Laboratories, Yoshitomi
`Pharmaceutical Industries, LTD., Fukuoka. M. MATSUMOTO, T.
`ASAOKA, and A. IWASA, Central Research Laboratories, SS
`Pharmaceutical Co., LTD., Chiba, Japan.
`SSY726, a new iriazole antifungal agent, was evaluated for
`anticryptococcal activity in normal or neutropenic mice. The leukopenic
`mice with cyclophosphamide (CY, 100 mg/kg, i.p.), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU,
`150 mg/kg, i.p.) or prednisolone (PDN, 50 mg/kgj s.c.), and normal mice
`were inoculated intranasally with 1.7 - 3.0 x 10~ cells of Cryprococcus
`neoformans TIMM 1855. Intravenous treatment with SSY726 or
`fluconazole (FLCZ) was initiated 1 hour after the challenge, and was
`followed by once daily, every two days or every four days for 8 days.
`Therapeutic effect was estimated by the reduction of viable cell counts
`(CFU) in lungs at day 10 after the infection. In once daily for eight
`successive days injection, SSY726 significantly reduced CFU in lungs at
`a dose of 0.31 mg/kg/day in CY- and 5-FU-treated mice, and at a dose of
`5 mg/kg/day in normal and PDN-treated mice. FLCZ reduced CFU in
`lungs at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day and 20 mg/kg/day in CY- and
`5-FU-treated mice, respectively, but did not up to 80 mg/kg/day in normal
`and PDN-treated mice. Every four days treatment with 5 mg/kg/day of
`SSY726 (total dose: 10 mg/kg) showed the effect comparable to once
`daily for eight successive days treatment with 20 mg/kg/day of FLCZ
`(total dose: 160 mg/kg) in CY-treated mice. These results suggest that
`SSY726 is more effective than FLCZ in the therapy of pulmonary
`cryptococcosis in compromised humans.

`The efficacy of KP-103 on dermatopbylceis models was superior to that
`of NCZ and almost equal to that of LCZ and BTF. KP-103 was effective on
`skin candidiasis, while the other drugs warn not. TO cisdfy the duration of
`retention lime Of the drug in skin alter topical appSce~on, the prophylactic
`effect of KP-103 on dermatophylosis model was examined. KP-103 exerted
`prophylactic effect with go% cure rate at application of 48h before lnfeclion.
`In summary, the excellent efficacy of KP-103 on dermatophytosls and
`skin cendldiasis may be attributed to its high activity and long time retention
`In the horny layer.
