Objective:
The antifungal activity of 13 arylaldoxime ester and ether derivatives was tested against 4 dermatophytes Trichophyton mentagrophytes (TM), Microsporum canis (MC); M. cookei, and M. gypseum.
Materials And Methods:
Structures of all new compounds prepared from aryl aldehydes were established by spectral means. The tests were performed on the Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) substrate. The sensitivity of the dermatophyte strains towards oxime derivatives was established by determining MIC and MFC values.
Results:
The tested compounds showed a moderate fungicidal activity reaching 100% inhibition rate at 1% concentration. The activity against M. canis of 4 derivatives was higher than the activity of a reference drug clotrimazole.
Conclusion:
A novel group of biologically active compounds was introduced. Simple aldoxime derivatives can be developed into a new class of antifungals.

Aryldiazonium Salts to Azo Dyes: Diazo Coupling
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
