Twenty-five polysubstituted phthalazinone derivatives were synthesized and tested for their antifungal activity against a panel of pathogenic and clinically important yeasts and filamentous fungi. Among them, the compound 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2- methylphthalazin-1(2H)-one (5) exhibited a remarkable antifungal activity against standardised strains of dermatophytes and Cryptococcus neoformans, as well as against some clinical isolates. A physicochemical study performed on compound 5 revealed its conformational and electronic characteristics, providing us with useful data for the future design of novel related antifungal analogues.

Viral transcription has not been routinely targeted in the development of new antiviral drugs. This crucial step of the viral cycle depends on the concerted action of cellular and viral proteins such as NF-κB and Tat. In the present study, stilbene-related heterocyclic compounds including benzalphthalide, phthalazinone, imidazoindole and pyrimidoisoindole derivatives are tested for their anti-HIV activity. Original assays based on recombinant viruses were used to evaluate HIV replication inhibition and stably transfected cell lines were used to evaluate inhibition of Tat and NF-κB proteins. Some of the stilbene-related heterocyclic compounds analysed displayed anti-HIV activity through interference with NF-κB and Tat function. Moreover, compounds inhibiting both targets displayed a stronger activity on viral replication.

We have evaluated the leishmanicidal activity of some natural and semisynthetic dihydrostilbenoids and several compounds of other series of dihydrostilbamides, isoindoles, phthalazinones, imidazoisoindoles and pyrimidoisoindoles. The evaluation was performed in vitro, on cultures of cutaneous, mucocutaneous and visceral strains of Leishmania spp. The most potent and selective compounds of these series were the dihydrostilbene piperidides.
