Synthesis and antifungal activity of benzofuran-5-ols

Benzofuran-5-ol derivatives were synthesized and tested for in vitro antifungal activity against Candida, Aspergillus species, and Cryptococcus neoformans. Among them tested, many benzofuran-5-ols showed good antifungal activity. The results suggest that benzofuran-5-ols would be promising antifungal agents.

Benzofuran-5-ol derivatives were synthesized and tested for in vitro antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi. Among them tested, many of benzofuran-5-ols exhibited potent antifungal activity.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
