Y. Takeuchi et al., SYNTHESES AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF DL-GRISEOFULVIN AND ITS CONGENERS - III, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 45(12), 1997, pp. 2011-2015
Several congeners (1b-g), with novel substituents on the benzene ring
of griseofulvin, were prepared by the application of a synthetic metho
d developed by us, Antifungal activity of these congeners decreased in
order of dl-griseofulvin (1a)=1d>1b, c>>1e-f(inactive), The relations
hip between the antifungal activity and the position or kind of substi
tuents on the benzene ring of griseofulvin is discussed.
