A series of 65 derivatives of N-benzylsalicylamide was tested against eight potentially human pathogenic fungi by microdilution broth method modified according to M27-A standard. The majority of these compounds showed only weak in vitro antifungal activity. The most significant effect was observed against filamentous fungi Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Absidia corymbifera, and Aspergillus fumigatus while yeasts, in general, were less susceptible. N-(4'-Chlorobenzyl) salicylamides, N-(3',4'-dichlorobenzyl)-salicylamides, and partially N-benzylsalicylamides exhibited relatively high in vitro antifungal activity. The most efficient derivatives had MIC < or = 7.8 mumol/L against T. mentagrophytes. Regression analysis suggested an indirect relationship between MIC values and lipophilicity (log P).

A series of 124 basic ethyl esters of alkoxy-substituted phenylcarbamic acids with the alkoxy group in position 2, 3 or 4 on the phenyl ring, and basic substituents attached to the ethyl moiety in position 2, were evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium avium. In vitro antimycobacterial activity becomes higher with increasing hydrophobic properties of the alkoxy groups. The p- and m-substituted derivatives were more active than the o-substituted ones. Direct relationship between the structure of the basic substituents and the activity was not found.
