title: Design of new antifungal agents: synthesis and evaluation of 1-[(1H-indol-5-ylmethyl)amino]-2-phenyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ols.
abstract: We previously reported on the design and synthesis of 1-[((hetero)aryl- or piperidinylmethyl)amino]-2-phenyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ols showing various degrees of antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus strains. Now we have identified a series of 1-[(1H-indol-5-ylmethyl)amino] derivatives which exhibited potent MICs (<65 ng mL(-1)) against C. albicans strain. The synthesis and SAR behind the indole scaffold will be discussed.
