Sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) is the main drug target for the treatment of fungal infections. The worldwide increase in the incidence of opportunistic fungal infections and the emerging resistance to available azole-based antifungal drugs, raise the need to develop structurally distinct and selective fungal CYP51 inhibitors. In this work we have, for the first time, investigated the binding of pyridylethanol(phenylethyl)amines to any fungal CYP51. The comparison of the binding to Candida albicans and human CYP51 studied by spectroscopic and modeling methods revealed moieties decisive for selectivity and potency and resulted in the development of highly selective derivatives with significantly increased inhibitory potency. The structure-based insight into the selectivity requirements of this new chemical class of fungal CYP51 inhibitors, their unique binding properties and the low molecular weight of lead derivatives offer novel directions for the targeted development of antifungal clinical candidates.
