Abstract
2-Methyl-8-quinolinol and sixteen 5-, 7-, and 5,7-substituted derivatives with fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, nitro, and amino substituents were tested for in vitro antifungal activity against five fungi, Aspergillus niger, A. oryzae, Trichoderma viride, Myrothecium verrucaria, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The 5,7-dichloro and 5,7-dibromo derivatives were the most fungitoxic of the compounds tested. With the exception of these two compounds and 5-iodo-2-methyl-8-quinolinol, the 2-methyl analogues were less active than the corresponding 8-quinolinols.
