title: Primary amides of bis-(2-carboxyphenyl)-disulfides with antimycotic activity.
abstract: A series of bis-amides of 2,2'-dicarboxydiphenyldisulfides with monosubstituted N-alkyl groups (substances I leads to XXVI) or N-aralkyl groups (substances XXVI leads to XLII) was prepared and examined for in vitro antifungal activity. The substances were obtained by condensing the chloride of 2,2'-dicarboxydiphenyldisulfide with suitable amines. The fungistatic activity of the products was tested in vitro against the following four strains: Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The results obtained summarised in Tables I and II amplify the structure-antifungal activity relationships of this class of compound. The most active compounds proved to be bis-(N-n.heptyl-2-carboxami-dophenyl)disulfide (XX) and bis-(N-beta-4Cl-phenylethyl-2-carboxamidophenyl)disulfide (XXXV).
