A. Delcourt et al., NEW POLYAZOLE DERIVATIVES FROM 2-(2,4-DICHLOROPHENYL)-1,3-DIOXOLANE -ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY - STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY-RELATIONSHIPS, Mycopathologia, 137(1), 1997, pp. 27-32
Six new polyazole derivatives from 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,3-dioxolan
e were studied for their antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi
for humans and animals. The antimycotic effect was largely restricted
to the filamentous fungi with Aspergillus fumigatus and Scedosporium a
piospermum being remarkably susceptible. Three compounds were as effec
tive as the two references, ketoconazole and oxiconazole. The structur
e-activity relationships revealed that an 'oxime group' combined with
four chlorine atoms increased the antifungal properties of the chemica
l series.
