Abstract

Two benzimidazole derivatives and one nitroimidazole derivative were designed using molecular hybridization approach. The designed compounds were synthesized and their in vitro antifungal activities were tested against Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. Based on the antifungal activity data, compound 9 containing 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole moiety proved to be the most potent compound. It was more active than the reference drugs fluconazole and ketoconazole against S. cerevisiae. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
