Derivatives of amphotericin B

A method of treating a fungal infection, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula IV, thereby treating the fungal infection;

• wherein, independently for each occurrence:
• X is —N(R2)—, —C(R3)(R3)—, or —O—;
• R2 is hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, heterocyclyl, (heterocyclyl)alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, acyl, amino, amido, aminoalkyl, and alkoxyl;
• R3 is hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, sulfhydryl, nitro, cyano, or a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, heterocyclyl, (heterocyclyl)alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, carboxyl, acyl, acyloxy, amino, amido, azido, aminoalkyl, and alkoxyl;
• R5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, and haloalkyl;
• when X is —N(R2)—, R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, heterocyclyl, (heterocyclyl)alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, acyl, amino, amido, aminoalkyl, and alkoxyl;
• or R1 and R2, together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, may form a substituted or unsubstituted 3- to 10-membered heterocyclic ring, wherein said ring is monocyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic, or spirocyclic;
• when X is —C(R3)(R3)—, R1 is hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, sulfhydryl, nitro, cyano, or a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, heterocyclyl, (heterocyclyl)alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, carboxyl, acyl, acyloxy, amino, amido, azido, aminoalkyl, and alkoxyl;
• or the two instances of R3, together with the carbon to which they are attached, may form a substituted or unsubstituted 3- to 10-membered aliphatic or heterocyclic ring, wherein said ring is monocyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic, or spirocyclic;
• and
• when X is —O—, R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, heterocyclyl, (heterocyclyl)alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, acyl, amino, amido, and aminoalkyl.
