A series of 2-thiocyanato-(2-methyl)-3-arylpropionamides and products of their heterocyclization, 2-amino-5-benzyl-(5-methyl)thiazol-4-ones, have been synthesized. The synthesized compounds exhibit rather high antibacterial activity with respect to strains of staphylococci, intestinal rods, aerobic bacilli, and yeast fungi. The majority of these compounds show a clearly expressed anti-candidiasis effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
