The in vitro antifungal activity of a novel series of cis- and trans-5-([aryl or aryloxy (or thio)]methyl)-3-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-3- (2-thienyl)-2-methylisoxazolidines (13-24) was evaluated and compared with ketoconazole. The title series of compounds was prepared via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 1-(2-thienyl)-2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-N-methylethanimine N-oxides with appropriate styrenes, allyl phenyl ethers, or allyl phenyl thioether precursors. The resulting products were mixtures of the corresponding cis- and trans-diastereomers which were readily separated by flash chromatography on neutral silica gel. The majority of compounds 13-24, when tested in solid agar cultures, exhibited moderate to potent activity against Trichophyton rubrum, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Candida albicans at concentrations ranging between less than or equal to 2.0 and 70.0 micrograms/mL.

D002621 Chemistry A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D005658 Fungi A kingdom of eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms that live parasitically as saprobes, including MUSHROOMS; YEASTS; smuts, molds, etc. They reproduce either sexually or asexually, and have life cycles that range from simple to complex. Filamentous fungi, commonly known as molds, refer to those that grow as multicellular colonies. Fungi, Filamentous,Molds,Filamentous Fungi,Filamentous Fungus,Fungus,Fungus, Filamentous,Mold
D000935 Antifungal Agents Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues.
