Researches on antibacterial and antifungal agents, X. Synthesis and antifungal activities of 1-(p-methyl-alpha-[4-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl]benzyl)azoles and some related products

Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 1989 Jun;322(6):369-73. doi: 10.1002/ardp.19893220609.

Abstract

The synthesis and antifungal activities against Candida albicans and Candida spp. of some pyrrole analogues of bifonazole are reported. 1-(p-Methyl-alpha-[4-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl]benzyl)imidazole was found to be equipotent or sometimes superior to bifonazole and ketoconazole, and lightly inferior to miconazole. Substitution of the imidazole moiety with other azoles retained some activities. No activity was shown when the azole aromatic rings were replaced by the heteroalicyclic ones.
