title: [Preparation and antifungal activity of carbamic and thiocarbamic esters of thiophenols].
abstract: A series of N-substituted carbamic and thiocarbamic esters of thiophenols [substances (I leads to XLII)] was prepared and tested for in vitro antifungal activity. The substances were obtained by condensation of thiophenols with suitable isocyanates and isothiocyanates. The antifungal activity of the products was tested in vitro against the following strains: Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The results obtained, given in the Table I, show that the carbamic and thiocarbamic esters of the thiophenols examined have marked antifungal activity. The results give some information on structure-activity relationships and also show that in general the derivatives of dithiocarbamic acid are more active than the bioisosteric derivatives of thiocarbamic acid. Of the compounds examined the most active were esters of N-benzyl and N-allyldithiocarbamic acid.
