ABSTRACT: A series of 65 derivatives of N-benzylsalicylamide was tested against eight potentially human pathogenic fungi by microdilution broth method modified according to M27-A standard. The majority of these compounds showed only weak in vitro antifungal activity. The most significant effect was observed against filamentous fungi Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Absidia corymbifera, and Aspergillus fumigatus while yeasts, in general, were less susceptible. N-(4'-Chlorobenzyl) salicylamides, N-(3',4'-dichlorobenzyl)-salicylamides, and partially N-benzylsalicylamides exhibited relatively high in vitro antifungal activity. The most efficient derivatives had MIC < or = 7.8 mumol/L against T. mentagrophytes. Regression analysis suggested an indirect relationship between MIC values and lipophilicity (log P).

ABSTRACT: A series of 81 3-phenyl-2H-benzoxazine-2,4(3H)-diones with substitution at C(6) on the benzoxazine ring and on the phenyl moiety was synthesized; the compounds were evaluated for antifungal activity against
five strains of potentially pathogenic fungi (Absidia corymbifera, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Microsporum gypseum andTrichophyton mentagrophytes). Structure-activity relationships againstT. mentagrophytes andM. gypseum were determined using the Free-Wilson method, which was further combined with the approach of Hansch.In vitro antifungal activity becomes higher with increasing electron-accepting ability of the substituents on the phenyl ring, and
with increasing lipophilicity.

ABSTRACT: 3-(Substituted phenyl)-5-acyloxymethyl-2H,5H-furan-2-ones related to the natural product (-)incrustoporine were synthesized and their in vitro antifungal activity evaluated. The compounds with halogen substituents on the phenyl ring displayed much higher antifungal effect against Aspergillus fumigatus than selected representatives of azole antifungal drugs. In particular, the activity (1.34 microg/mL) of the most promising derivative, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-pivaloyloxymethyl-2H,5H-furan-2-one, was comparable to that of amphotericin B (0.5 microg/mL). Preliminary evaluation of the toxicity of the compound was carried out as well. Considering the size and properties of these molecules in comparison with those of amphotericin B, further development of this novel group of antifungals may lead to substances with better pharmacological profiles than that of the standard anti-Aspergillus drug.
