Abstract

Pyrido [1, 2-a] indole-1, 4-diones and benzo [f] pyrido [1, 2-a] indole-6, 11-diones were synthesized and tested for in vitro antifungal activity against two pathogenic strains of fungi. Among them tested, many compounds showed good antifungal activity. The results suggest that pyrido [1, 2-a] indole-1, 4-diones and benzo [f] pyrido [1, 2-a] indole-6, 11-diones would be potent antifungal agents.
