Popis: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of maleimides as inhibitors on the growth of fungal strains isolated from onychomycosis by the solid medium diffusion procedure. The results showed a promising antifungical activity of the assayed maleimides with formation of fungal growth inhibition halos oscillating between diameter 10 and 23mm. MIC was 100µg/mL for 3,4-dichloro-N-phenyl-methyl-maleimide and 3,4-dichloro-N-phenyl-propil-maleimide and 200µg/mL for 3,4-dichloro-N-phenyl-maleimide, 3,4-dichloro-N-phenyl-ethyl-maleimide and 3,4-dichloro-N-phenyl-buthyl-maleimide.Este estudo objetivou analisar a efetividade de maleimidas como inibidores do crescimento de cepas fúngicas isoladas de onicomicoses através da técnica de difusão em meio sólido.
