the surface of solidified Czapek’s Dox agar dishes
seeded by the test fungi. The inhibition zones were
measured in millimetres at the end of an incubation
period of 48 h at 28°C. The results are shown Table 3.
The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values
for the biological active compounds 4, 5b, 6b and 8
were determined by the serial dilution method [20].
Trosyd (Tioconazole) was used as a reference drugs to
evaluate the potency of the tested compounds.

4. Antifungal activity
The results (Table 3) showed that compounds 4, 5b
and 6b possess high activity against Penicillium chryso-
genum Thom (AUCC-530) (MIC 100 mg ml−1); com-
pound 8 showed a high activity against Aspergillus
ochraceus Wilhelm (AUCC-230). Also, compounds 5b
and 6b revealed the high activity against Candida albi-
cans (Robin) Berkho (AUCC-1720). MIC values for the
biological active compounds 4, 5b, 6b and 8 were 100
mg ml−1, all these compounds are less active than
reference drug (Trosyd).
