Diverse N-substituted anilines bearing hetaryl fragments were easily prepared from corresponding aldimines derived fromcommercially available aromatic aldehydes and anilines. 2-Furyl substituted anilines showed very good antifungal activities againstdermatophytes, particularly against Trichophyton rubrum (MIC = 3.12–6.25 lg/mL). In addition, all active compounds, 45–47, 73,and 74, were tested for cytotoxic activities against breast (MCF-7), lung (H-460), and central nervous system (...

In addition, all active compounds, 45–47, 73,and 74, were tested for cytotoxic activities against breast (MCF-7), lung (H-460), and central nervous system (SF-268) human cancercell lines with the NCI-anticancer-drug screen. The activity of amines described in this paper, along with the low toxicity of most ofthem, shows promise for the future development of non-toxic new antimycotic agents.
