Abstract:

Calixarenes are macrocyclic compounds formed of phenolic units linked by methylene bridges in ortho positions. In last decades these compounds have received increasing attention due to its technological and biological applications, particularly as platforms for the development of new drugs. Aldimines are organic substances known to exhibit a broad range of biological properties that includes antifungal, antibacterial, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. Here we report the microwave-assisted synthesis of six calix[4]aldimines and their respective monomeric units. The antifungal activities of such compounds against six strains of Candida species are also described.
