Claims8
An antifungal composition comprising a compound according to Formula (I):
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H and a lower alkyl;
- and
- wherein each X is independently selected from the group consisting of phenyl, a substituted phenyl, an aromatic heterocycle, and a substituted aromatic heterocycle, so long as when both R are H or methyl then at least one X is not phenyl or meta-methoxy substituted phenyl;
- wherein the substituted phenyl comprises a substitution selected from the group consisting of nitro, an alkyl, an alkoxy, a halogen, cyano, a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, aryl sulfoxides, aryl sulfones, a trihalomethyl, and combinations thereof;
- and
- aromatic heterocycle or the substituted aromatic heterocycle comprises one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and combinations thereof, wherein the aryl sulfoxides include S(═O)C6H4Z, with Z being selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, and halogen.
An antifungal composition comprising a compound according to Formula (I):
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H and a lower alkyl;
- and
- wherein each X is independently selected from the group consisting of phenyl, a substituted phenyl, an aromatic heterocycle, and a substituted aromatic heterocycle, so long as when both R are H or methyl then at least one X is not phenyl or meta-methoxy substituted phenyl;
- wherein the substituted phenyl comprises a substitution selected from the group consisting of nitro, an alkyl, an alkoxy, a halogen, cyano, a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, aryl sulfoxides, aryl sulfones, a trihalomethyl, and combinations thereof;
- and
- aromatic heterocycle or the substituted aromatic heterocycle comprises one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and combinations thereof, wherein the aryl sulfones include S(═O)2C6H4Z, with Z being selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, and halogen.
An antifungal composition comprising a compound according to Formula (I):
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H and a lower alkyl;
- and
- wherein each X is independently selected from the group consisting of phenyl, a substituted phenyl, an aromatic heterocycle, and a substituted aromatic heterocycle, so long as when both R are H or methyl then at least one X is not phenyl or meta-methoxy substituted phenyl;
- wherein the substituted phenyl comprises a substitution selected from the group consisting of nitro, an alkyl, an alkoxy, a halogen, cyano, a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, aryl sulfoxides, aryl sulfones, a trihalomethyl, and combinations thereof;
- and
- aromatic heterocycle or the substituted aromatic heterocycle comprises one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and combinations thereof, wherein the substituent of the first ring according to Formula I is in the 3 position.
An antifungal composition comprising a compound according to Formula (I):
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H and a lower alkyl;
- and
- wherein each X is independently selected from the group consisting of phenyl, a substituted phenyl, an aromatic heterocycle, and a substituted aromatic heterocycle, so long as when both R are H or methyl then at least one X is not phenyl or meta-methoxy substituted phenyl;
- wherein the substituted phenyl comprises a substitution selected from the group consisting of nitro, an alkyl, an alkoxy, a halogen, cyano, a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, aryl sulfoxides, aryl sulfones, a trihalomethyl, and combinations thereof;
- and
- aromatic heterocycle or the substituted aromatic heterocycle comprises one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and combinations thereof, wherein the substituent of the first ring according to Formula I is in the 4 position.
An antifungal composition comprising a compound according to Formula (I):
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
- wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H and a lower alkyl;
- wherein X is a substituted phenyl and the substituted phenyl comprises a substitution selected from the group consisting of nitro, an alkyl, an alkoxy, a halogen, cyano, a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, aryl sulfoxides, aryl sulfones, a trihalomethyl, and combinations thereof, wherein the substituted phenyl includes more than one substitution.
