Imidazole Analogues of Fluoxetine, a Novel Class of Anti-Candida Agents
摘要:
Imidazole analogues of fluoxetine have been obtained by replacing the methylamino terminus of aminopropane chain with the imidazole ring. The newly designed imidazoles showed potent anti-Candida activity, superior to those of miconazole and other antifungal agents of clinical interest. 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propane (16), the most active among test imidazoles, was about 2-fold more active and as much less cytotoxic than miconazole. High increase of activity was observed with methyl, nitro, fluorine, and chlorine (Cl > F > CH3 > NO2 > CF3).

A series of aryloxy alkyl/arylalkyl imidazoles were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as antileishmanials against Leishmania donovani. All the 19 compounds exhibited 94–100% inhibition at 10 μg/mL against promastigotes and 12 compounds exhibited high inhibition with an IC50 in the range of 0.47–4.85 μg/mL against amastigotes. Promising compounds were tested further in vivo. Among all, compounds 4
