title: Synthesis and antifungal activities in vitro of novel pyrazino [2,1-a] isoquinolin derivatives.
abstract: A series of novel pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinolin compounds were designed and synthesized, and their antifungal activities in vitro were evaluated. The results showed that all of the compounds exhibited antifungal activities. Some of them exhibited stronger antifungal activities than that of lead compounds and among them compound 11b was the most potent one, which showed more potent than that of the active control fluconazole to the four of the five tested fungi. The studies presented here provide a new structural type for the development of novel antifungal agents.
