title: Studies on antifungal agents. 19. Effect of the C-5-aromatic substitution on the in vitro activity of novel 3,5-substituted isoxazolidines.
abstract: The influence of the C-5-aromatic substitution on the in vitro antifungal activity of novel cis-3,5-substituted isoxazolidine derivatives was investigated. Compounds having a C-5-(substituted phenoxy)methyl group were found to be the most active against Trichophyton rubrum, Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans with MIC values ranging from 0.7 to 70.0 micrograms/ml. Replacing the phenoxymethyl group with either naphthyl or 2-oxo-1,3-benzoxathiol-6-yl groups resulted in a diminished in vitro activity.
