A. Ettorre et al., THE ANTIFUNGAL AGENT 1-[2-(4-CHLOROBENZYLAMINO)BENZYL]-1H-IMIDAZOLE, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 53, 1997, pp. 761-762
The crystal structure of the title compound, C17H16ClN3, and its globa
l minimum-energy structure are not compatible with the model proposed
in a recent CoMFA 3D-QSAR (comparative molecular-field analysis 3D-qua
ntitative structure-activity relationship) analysis in which the fixed
conformation of the model is used to align all the structures of the
inhibitors studied. This result suggests the hypothesis that this mole
cule belongs to another class of antifungal agents.
