Cryptolepine (2) possesses desirable properties to serve as a lead in developing new antifungal agents. Using SAR techniques, several analogues of cryptolepine were designed to increase potency and to broaden the antifungal spectrum over several opportunistic microorganisms. A number of 2-substituted indoloquinolines have been synthesized and evaluated in antifungal screens and several have been shown to increase potency and expand the antifungal spectrum of cryptolepine. Comparison of MICs of a number of these analogues with standard antifungal agents, shows them to be comparable to Amphotericin B and Ketoconazole. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
