Minimal inhibitory concentrations for 10 new condensed isoindole derivatives were established by the agar diffusion method. Benzo[b]-6H-pyrimido[2,1-a]isoindole-4-one exhibited a broad antifungal effect; the observed MIC (mg/L) were 7 (K. lactis), 8 (C. pseudotropicalis), 17 (W. fluorescens), 22 (E. magnusii), 31 (P. membranaefaciens), 32 (S. alluvius) and 32 (S. cerevisiae). The compound also inhibited the growth of B. subtilis (MIC 9 mg/L). No effect on the growth of E. coli was found.
