Two series of chlorinated benzhydryl imidazole and triazole derivatives were synthesized and tested in vitro against representative strains of potent pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus CIP 4.83, Escherichia hirae CIP 5855, Pseudomonas aeruginosa CIP 82118, Escherichia coli CIP 53126) and fungi (Aspergillus niger IP 1431.83, Candida albicans IP 48.72, Candida krusei IP 208.52, Trichophython rubrum IP 1657.86). Most of these compounds were devoid of any antimicrobial activity, but several of them inhibited T. rubrum with MIC values in the range of 0.125 to 32 μg/mL, similar or superior to those of bifonazole and clotrimazole, used as standard controls. The replacement of the imidazole ring with a triazole moiety in these compounds led to derivatives with less antifungal activity. A preliminary SAR was undertaken on the effect of the number and the position of chlorine atoms on the distribution of negative charge on the surface of some compounds on antifungal activity.

New 1-[(3-aryloxy-3-aryl)propyl]-1H-imidazoles were synthesized and evaluated against Candida albicans and dermatophytes in order to develop structure-activity relationships (SARs). Against C. albicans the new imidazoles showed minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) comparable to those of ketoconazole, miconazole, and econazole, and were more potent than fluconazole. Several derivatives (10, 12, 14, 18-20, 24, 28, 29, 30, and 34) turned out to be potent inhibitors of C. albicans strains resistant to fluconazole, with MIC values less than 10 μg/mL. Against dermatophytes strains, compounds 20, 25, and 33 (MIC ≤ 5 μg/mL) were equipotent to ketoconazole, econazole, and miconazole. SARs of imidazoles 10-44 were rationalized with reasonable accuracy by a previously developed quantitative pharmacophore for antifungal agents.
