- the aldehydes were divided into two sets or plates of 80 aldehydes. Each set was reacted with a given benzofuranone. Phenolic hydroxyl groups were protected, for example, as methoxymethyl ethers. In general, the alicyclic or aliphatic aldehydes were less reactive than the aromatic aldehydes and thus required more vigorous conditions, such as higher temperatures. Even so, yields were generally lower than the aromatic aldehydes. Portions of the adducts were screened for antimicrobial activity, and the remainder deprotected with trimethylsilyl chloride in methanol to yield the unprotected aurone, which was also screened for antimicrobial activity.

To a solution of the product of Example 12 (0.3 g, 1.35 mmol) dissolved in 15 ml dry toluene was added Lawesson's reagent (0.36 g, 0.9 mmol). The reaction was refluxed overnight until the ketone was consumed, by TLC. Chromatographic purification (3:1 dichloromethane: petroleum ether and 2% diisopropylethylamine; or 3:1 ethe ⁇ petroleum ether and 2% diisopropylethylamine) gave a slightly yellow clear oil. TLC showed a major and minor product.
- test compound was tested against nine isolates in an eight-point dose response assay ranging from 50 ⁇ g/ml to 0.39 ⁇ g/ml. Aspergillus MIC's (minimum inhibitory concentrations) were scored visually after 48 and 72 hours at 37 °C. All
- Candida MIC's were scored visually after a 24 hour incubation at 35 °C.
- Amphotericin B (2.5 ⁇ g/ml) and 5-flucytosine (2.0 ⁇ g/ml) were standard controls for each antifungal assay. In each case, total inhibition was observed for all assays relative to amphotericin B and 5-flucytosine. The results are shown below in Table 4, MIC values in ⁇ g/ml after 72 hours. HFF toxicity was analyzed after a 24 hour incubation at 37°C (5% CO 2 ). MTS/PMS was added, and the sample absorbance was read at 450 nm. TABLE 4
- Scheme P-l shows several compounds of the invention.
