    Abstract:
    The synthesis, antifungal and pharmacological activities of new 1,4-diarylimidazoles are reported. Antimicrobial data in comparison with antifungal antibiotic pyrrolnitrin pointed out that the 1,4-diaryl-2-mercaptoimidazole derivatives were inactive and all 1,4-diarylimidazoles exhibited a weak antifungal activity. Some compounds showed a selective activity against strains of Candida sp. Instead pharmacological data did not evidence any significant antiinflammatory activity. The tested compounds were prepared by reacting appropriate phenacylanilines with potassium thiocyanate in acidic medium to afford 1,4-diaryl-2-mercapto imidazoles which were then transformed into title compounds by treatment with nitric acid.
