General description

m-Anisaldehyde has significant antifungal activity against Candida sp., including the azole-resistant strains.

m-Anisaldehyde is a class of benzaldehyde, used as a potent antifungal agent and as the starting material for complex aromatic compounds.

Application

m-Anisaldehyde was used as an eluent for mono-13C isotopomers of vanillin in normal phase silica gel chromatography. It was also used as an inhibitor of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) metabolism.

As part of a routine screening assay, benzaldehyde was found to inhibit 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) metabolism. Consequently, the effects of benzaldehyde and several structurally related compounds on NNK metabolism were examined in murine hepatic and pulmonary microsomes. All test compounds inhibited

Attention has been drawn to evaluate the antifungal activity of p-anisaldehyde (1), o-anisaldehyde (2) and m-anisaldehyde (3). To put forward this approach, antifungal activity has been assessed in thirty six fluconazole-sensitive and eleven fluconazole-resistant Candida isolates. Growth and sensitivity of
