title: 3-imidazolyl-substituted flavans as potential antifungal agents: synthesis, stereochemical properties, and antifungal activity.
abstract: A new series of 3-imidazolyl-substituted flavan derivatives being equipped with a N-(phenethyl)-azole scaffold as the common pharmacophore of azole antifungals, were synthesized. The stereochemical and conformational properties of compounds were also characterized by (1)H-NMR data. The results of the antifungal evaluation of trans-3-imidazolyl-substituted flavan-4-ones and (Z)-trans-3-imidazolyl-substituted flavan-4-one oximes in comparison with the reference drug fluconazole indicated that most target compounds possessed significant in-vitro antifungal activities against the tested fungi, comparable or superior to fluconazole.
