title: Synthesis of 25-aminosterols, new antifungal agents.
abstract: 25-aminolanostenol 1 and 25-aminocholesterol 2 were hemisynthesized from natural sterols and tested in vitro against Candida albicans. The biological activity of compound 1 was rather weak, whereas 2 exhibited in vitro antifungal activity with MIC value of 4 microM.
