Antifungal properties of 2-alkenoic acids and 2-bromo alkanoic acids. 1973

H Gershon, and M W McNeil, and R Parmegiani, and P K Godfrey, and J M Baricko

The antifungal activity of homologous series of 2-alkenoic and 2-bromo alkanoic acids was determined against Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride, Myrothecium verrucaria, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes and compared with data on analogous alkanoic and 2-fluoro alkanoic acids. The fungitoxicity of all of the series of compounds was determined by chain length, pH of the medium, and presence or absence of adsorbents such as serum albumin. The order of toxicity on a molecular basis, by using a scale where the most active series is 1.0, is 2-bromo alkanoic acids (1.0) > 2-fluoro alkanoic acids (1.2) > alkanoic acids (1.4) > 2-alkenoic acids (2.5).

Fatty Acids, Polyunsaturated,Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid,Unsaturated Fatty Acid,Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids,Acid, Polyunsaturated Fatty,Acid, Unsaturated Fatty,Acids, Polyunsaturated Fatty,Acids, Unsaturated Fatty,Fatty Acid, Polyunsaturated,Fatty Acid, Unsaturated,Unsaturated Fatty Acids
D005232 Fatty Acids, Volatile Short-chain fatty acids of up to six carbon atoms in length. They are the major end products of microbial fermentation in the ruminant digestive tract and have also been implicated in the causation of neurological diseases in humans.

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
D006842 Hydrocarbons, Brominated Hydrocarbon compounds with one or more HYDROGEN atoms substituted with BROMINE. Brominated Hydrocarbons
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.
