J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem. 2014 Feb;29(1):43-8. doi: 10.3109/14756366.2012.752363. Epub 2013 Jan 17.

Abstract

In this study, 14 different 2-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazole-5-yl)thio]-1-(phenyl)ethanone derivatives (1-14) were synthesized. The structures of the obtained compounds were elucidated using IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and FAB(+)-MS spectral data and elemental analyses results. The compounds were screened for their anticandidal activity using the microbroth dilution method and for their cytotoxic effects using the MTT assay against NIH/3T3 cells. Some of the compounds were found to be potent anticandidal agents with weak cytotoxicities.
