Abstract:
PURPOSE: A fluorophenyl benzoxazole derivative with antifungal activity is provided to selectively suppress protein synthesis of pathogenic fungus and to use as an antifungal agent. CONSTITUTION: A fluorophenyl benzoxazole derivative or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is denoted by chemical formula 1. The fluorophenyl benzoxazole derivatie is 3-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-methyl-benzoxazole-5-yl]-3-oxo-propyonic acid methylester; 1-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-methylbenzo[d]oxazole-5-yl)hexane-1,5-dion; 3-(2-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-methylbenzo[d]oxazole-5-yl)-3-oxopropionic acid ethyl ester; or 3-(6-ethyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)benzo[d]oxazole-5-yl)-3-oxopropionic acid methyl ester. The compound of chemical formula 1 is prepared by reacting the compound of chemical formula 3 with a compound of chemical formula 2.
