The effect of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of six novel fenpropimorph derivatives on lipid and sterol composition of Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Malassezia pachydermatis and Malassezia furfur was investigated. The MICs for the most effective derivatives were found in the range from 3.7 to 56.7 microM and were 2-3 times lower compared to the commercial fungicide bifona...
