Abstract

Twenty bis-5-methylbenzimidazole compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis. Except for three all compounds exhibited an antifungal activity against these yeasts over a range of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) between 25 and 800 mg/L.
