Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/GB90/00699 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 4, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 4, 1991 PCT Filed May 4, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/13298 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 15, 1990.Compounds of the general formula (2): (2) wherein X is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, Y is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group and R is an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, have anti-fungal activity, especially against organisms selected from Candida spp. and the athlete's foot organism Trichophyton mentagrophytes and the ringworm organism Microsporum audonii. Further, the compounds wherein X and R are hydrogen atoms and Y is a hydroxyl group (or its non-toxic salts) are useful against Microsporum audonii.
