Abstract

Antifungal assessment of eighteen 5-, 6- and 8-(4-aminobutyloxy)quinolines revealed a significant susceptibility of the tested fungi and yeast strains (Candida albicans, Rhodotorula bogoriensis, Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium solani) toward different halo-substituted 8-(4-aminobutyloxy)quinolines. The six most potent compounds displayed antifungal activities similar to those of established antifungal agents such as Amphotericin B, Fluconazole and Itraconazole, and one representative also showed a promising broad-spectrum antifungal profile. The introduction of an aminoalkoxy side chain at the 8-position of a halo-substituted quinoline core might thus provide a new class of lead structures in the search for novel antifungal agents.
