Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is overexpressed in many diseases, and is an important target for treating tumors. Two series of 3-substituted-5-((5-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(quinoxalin-6-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methylene)-2-thioxo- thiazolidin-4-ones (12, 13a~13e, and 14a~14h) were synthesized and evaluated for their activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5) inhibition activity. Among these compounds, (Z)-6-(5-((5-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(quinoxalin-6-yl)-1H-imidazol- 2-yl)methylene)-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl)hexanoic acid (13e) showed the highest activity (IC50=0.451 µmol•L–1) against ALK5 kinase, which had a good selectivity index of >22 against p38α MAP kinase, with 5.0-fold more selectivity than the clinical candidate of LY-2157299. These rhodanine compounds showed good antifungal activity and high selectivity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. These compounds showed similar or higher antifungal activity (MIC=0.5 or 1 µg/mL) to the positive control compound fluconazole (MIC=1 µg/mL).
