Antifungal and antibacterial activities of diarylamidine derivatives. 1980

J Anné, and E De Clercq, and H Eyssen, and O Dann

The antifungal and antibacterial properties of a series of 70 diarylamidine derivatives were evaluated. Several of these compounds exhibited considerable antimicrobial potency. A survey of the structure-activity relationship demonstrated that minor structural variations resulted in significant changes of antimicrobial activity. In general, the structural features required for antifungal activity coincided with those required for antibacterial activity. Both the antifungal and the antibacterial properties of the diarylamidines depended on the presence and the positions, of both amidino groups, on the nature of the central bridge connecting the two aryl moieties, and on the nature of these aryl residues (preferably indole). The most active compound was evaluated for its activity against Candida albicans infection in mice.

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

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
