title: Synthesis and antifungal activity of alkylthio and alkylsulfonyl derivatives of SM-8668.
abstract: Triazole analogues which contained alkylthio or alkylsulfonyl groups where synthesized as derivatives of antifungal SM-8668 and estimated for their in vitro and in vivo activity. Derivatives having pentylthio, heptylthio or nonylthio groups showed excellent efficacy against both candidiasis and aspergillosis. Introduction of a hydrophilic group at the end of their alkyl chain made their activity stronger. Especially, 5-hydroxypentylthio and 7-hydroxyheptylthio derivatives showed the strongest antifungal activity.
