title: In vitro inhibition of Trichomonas vaginalis growth by some ortho-phenacyloxy-benzyl alcohols and their derivatives.
abstract: Some phenacyl ethers of different ortho-hydroxy-benzyl alcohols and analogues have been synthesized and tested for the in vitro activity towards Trichomonas vaginalis. The most active compounds had a minimum inhibitory concentration of 6.25 micrograms/ml and appeared to be of a certain interest as representative of a new type of anti-Trichomonas substances not containing a nitro group.
