Syntheses and antifungal activities of some 3-(2-phenylethyl)-5-substituted- tetrahydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thiones.

Ten new 3-(2-phenethyl)-5-substituted-tetrahydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2- thiones were synthesized by the reaction of phenylethylamine with carbon disulfide and potassium hydroxide, followed by formaldehyde and appropriate amino acids. The structures of these compounds have been confirmed by UV, IR, 1H-NMR and elementary analysis. The antifungal activities of the compounds were tested by tube dilution method against yeast-like fungi (Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. stellatoidea and C. pseudotropicalis) and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) values were determined. All compounds proved to be highly effective against yeast-like fungi (MFC range: 1.56-12.5 micrograms/ml).
