Y. Wahbi et al., AROMATIC ETHERS OF 1-ARYL 2-(1H-AZOLYL)ETHANOL - STUDY OF ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY, European journal of medicinal chemistry, 30(12), 1995, pp. 955-962
Aromatic ethers related to antifungal azole miconazole were synthesize
d and tested against various strains of Candida. We found that activit
y is related to the nature of the aromatic ring and the position of su
bstituents on this ring. Activity is more strongly dependent on the su
bstituent in the 2 position of the ethyl chain than on the aromatic gr
oup linked through the oxygen. Triazoles were always less potent than
the corresponding imidazole analogues.
