Abstract

To improve antifungal activities, water solubility and bioavailability, a series of novel analogues of itraconazole-containing pyridine rings were designed and synthesized. Their antifungal activities were evaluated in vitro against six clinically important fungi by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Most of the compounds showed more potent antifungal activities than that of itraconazole. In particular, the analogues 30d, ...
