Synthesis, antifungal activity and structure-activity relationships of 2-(alkyl or aryl)-2-(alkyl or polyazol-1-ylmethyl)-4-(polyazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes

Summary A series of 2-(alkyl or aryl)-2-(alkyl or polyazol-1-ylmethyl)-4-(polyazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes Ia-u was synthesized and tested in vitro against pathogenic fungi in man, animals and plants: Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium solani . Compounds Iq-t with two polyazol groups have an in vitro activity against these fungi with MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) value of 5 μg mL −1 .
