Popis: A series of new compounds were evaluated for acute in vivo toxicity. Their synthesis 1 and antifungal activity 2 have previously been described by us. The naturally occurring class of compounds to which they belong—the benzylidenechroman-4-ones—have been identified as a potential source of new antifungal agents 3. These compounds were found to be less toxic, as judged by acute toxicity, than existing commercially available antifungals. A number of conclusions can be drawn about the relationship of structural changes in this series of compounds to increases or decreases in acute toxicity.
