title: Chemotherapeutic agents with an imidazole moiety. III. Synthesis and microbiological activity of new 1,4-diarylimidazole and 1,4-pyrrolimidazolphenylene derivatives.
abstract: New 1,4-diarylimidazole and 1,4-pyrrolimidazol-phenylene derivatives were prepared in attempt to deepen S.A.R. study on chemotherapeutic agents with an imidazole moiety. Antimicrobial data in comparison with antifungal antibiotic pyrrolnitrin showed that all tested compounds are practically inactive against blastomycetes but some derivatives exhibited selective activity against strains of gram-negative bacteria. The results obtained are discussed on the basis of structure-activity relationships.
