[Antimicrobial activity of selected quinoxalines (author's transl)]

After a survey of the literature on biological effects of quinoxalines experimental results of 2,3- and 2,3,6-substituted quinoxalines against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporon gypseum were demonstrated. The most active compound was 2-chlor-3-methyl-6-nitroquinoxaline. Its MIC values against Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida albicans were determined with 54 and 223 micromol/l.
