title: New benzofuran-imidazoles as antimycotic agents. II. In vitro studies.
abstract: Ten new imidazole derivatives, benzofuran-imidazoles, were studied in vitro to establish their antimycotic activity against 70 fungal strains, in comparison with three known imidazoles and, for the dermatophytes only, griseofulvin. A very high inhibitory activity against dermatophytes was shown by five of the new substances. The other filamentous fungi and yeasts showed a more marked variation in their susceptibility. However a good sensitivity of some isolates of Candida albicans and other yeasts was seen.
