MIC50s (μg/ml) of the BZT compounds are shown against a panel of human pathogenic fungi. The antifungal activities of the compounds were also compared to those of fluconazole, micafungin, and amphotericin B (AmpB) against the same strains. Results for fungicidal compounds are indicated in bold numbers. (Fungicidal, MFC/MIC50 ≤4; fungistatic, MFC/MIC50 >4.) Data are shown as averages of results from five experiments.
